Denied MWBE Certification?

Don’t Leave Your Business Behind!
Fight Back with Birch Hill Chambers.

Being certified as a Minority- or Women-Owned Business Enterprise (“MWBE”) by New York State opens doors to contracts, funding, and growth. A denial from the Department of Economic Development’s Division of Minority and Women’s Business Development (“DED”) can slam those doors shut.

Don’t accept that outcome. Challenge it—with power.

At Birch Hill Chambers, we represent businesses just like yours—applicants who were unfairly denied MWBE certification after a flawed review process, a misinterpreted document, or an incomplete site visit. We don’t just help you respond—we help you win.

Two Paths to Reversal. One Clear Advantage: Us.

Hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ):

This is a live, formal legal proceeding. Both sides—your business and the DED—present evidence, make arguments, and deliver witness testimony. You need more than paperwork—you need commanding courtroom advocacy. Our advocates know how to build and deliver a compelling argument that cuts through bureaucracy.

Written Appeal:

Prefer not to appear in person? We’ll craft a powerful written appeal that lays out the errors and factual gaps in DED’s decision. We don’t just fill out forms—we build persuasive, bulletproof arguments backed by evidence and the law.

Why Choose Birch Hill Chambers?

* Unmatched Expertise in MWBE appeals and administrative hearings
* Aggressive Advocacy tailored to your business goals
* Proven Track Record of reversing wrongful denials
* Strategic, High-Impact Representation from start to finish

This certification could define the future of your business.

Don’t take chances with second-rate representation.

Take action now.
