License Defense & Economic Liberty
License Defense & Economic Liberty
Government has no business telling you how to earn a living — unless it has a lawful reason. We fight excessive licensing, unconstitutional regulation, and economic protectionism that keeps entrepreneurs and businesses from competing fairly.
When a Texas agency threatens your license, permit, or right to operate, the consequences can be existential. But government overreach doesn't stop at license revocation. Excessive licensing requirements, protectionist regulations designed to favor incumbents, and unconstitutional barriers to entry harm entrepreneurs and small businesses every day. Cobb & Gervasi provides aggressive representation — defending existing licenses and challenging unlawful barriers to economic freedom.
