Public Law
Anyone interacting with government agencies or bodies exercising public power, or private entities performing public functions, may require administrative law guidance.
Legitimate administrative action encompasses more than just paper rights. Enforcement of those rights is necessary. The Promotion of Administrative Justice Act (PAJA) gives effect to the constitutional right to just administrative action. By guaranteeing the right to judicial review, PAJA empowers citizens to participate in decision-making processes that affect them.
If you are dissatisfied with an administrative decision, you have the right to contest it. We know how to implement fair administrative measures.
Drawing on our extensive experience, we advise businesses and individuals on relevant laws and regulations and their rights and options.
Where required, we negotiate on your behalf with government bodies to reach a resolution and ensure that administrative decision-making processes are fair, transparent, and lawful.
In addition, we represent you in administrative hearings, appeals, and judicial review proceedings.
