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.
