Overview

When your business has a regulatory problem that isn’t easily fixed, we bring creative solutions to the table, drawing on our deep experience dealing with state and federal agencies in Florida and beyond.

Parker Hudson is at the forefront of administrative law in the State of Florida, with extensive experience in healthcare regulation, bid procurement-related issues, the Florida pari-mutuel industry, the alcoholic beverage industry, medical marijuana regulation, and beyond.

Whether you need a license or permit to meet a particular business goal, hope to influence regulatory policy or rulemaking at the state level, or want to head off regulatory disputes or contract disputes before they mature, we offer practical advice and state-specific strategies rooted in deep experience.
