Akerman has extensive experience in litigation involving state and federal government agencies. Government agency litigation is distinct from civil litigation involving private parties due to the specific procedures governing and controlling government agencies, and because of the difference in rules of evidence applicable to government agencies. Our team has been involved in several hundred cases challenging or defending state, local, and federal governmental actions.
