Background

About Tad Heuer

My administrative law and appellate practice specializes in solving the most challenging high-profile regulatory problems faced by my public, private, and nonprofit clients. In my administrative law practice, I create bespoke strategies to successfully guide clients through the often-arcane regulatory processes of federal agencies, state regulators, and local permitting boards. I obtain complex land use permits for high-profile projects ranging from renewable energy facilities to independent schools. I persuade federal and state agencies to adopt new regulations on topics as varied as education policy, medical device coverage, and election funding. And I negotiate with state law enforcement agencies to reach client-favorable settlements in investigations ranging from alleged consumer protection violations to Medicaid fraud. In my appellate practice, I have successfully argued numerous high-stakes complex regulatory appeals before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and Appeals Court, on issues as varied as eminent domain, education policy, energy law, and environmental permitting. I have authored amicus briefs in both the SJC and the United States Supreme Court on issues ranging from historic preservation to campaign finance, and am a co-author of the leading treatise on Appellate Practice in Massachusetts.
