Administrative law may seem remote and mundane – but not to those clients who fall under its ever-expanding and often complex regulatory reach. Don Bach understands this full well. From rulemaking to agency contracts, to permitting decisions and challenges, to enforcement actions to executive clemency, Don has been in the middle of it all during his career as a lawyer.
He has first-hand knowledge of the inner operations of government which also gives him an added perspective in the area of administrative law. He served in a number of capacities while working for the state of Wisconsin including Legal Counsel to Governor Tommy Thompson, Acting Chief of Staff, Pardon Counsel and Chairman of the Governor’s Pardon Advisory Board, Acting Chairman of the Wisconsin Parole Board, Administrator of the Division of Administrative Services in the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, Administrator of the Division of State Agency Services in the Wisconsin Department of Administration and Deputy Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
From 1997 to 1999, Don served as Chairman of the State Bar’s Bench-Bar Committee, a committee of lawyers and judges tasked with evaluating and making recommendations for changes in Wisconsin’s system of justice. He also served as Chairman of its Survey Committee. In May 1998 he was named by the Governor’s Advisory Council on Judiciary Selection as “one of the three best qualified candidates” for appointment to the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. In 2004, Don was appointed by the Wisconsin Supreme Court to the Wisconsin Judicial commission, the entity which investigates judicial misconduct and disability. He served as its Chair in 2007.
