Tseytlin is nationally renowned for his work in high-profile cases in administrative and political law. He has argued and won multiple cases in appellate courts across the U.S., including the U.S. Supreme Court, federal courts of appeals, state supreme courts, and state appellate courts.

He has led and won many of the most important APA cases in the U.S. over the last decade, including lawsuits against rules and rulings issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Food and Drug Administration, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and Office of Management and Budget.
