“As local officials, all of you – our mayors, our city managers, our council members – are the strong backbone of our communities. You are truly on the front lines of government.” |

Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-NC)

As guardians of our communities, municipal leaders face many challenges. The financial security of a community can be threatened by lawsuits from unhappy applicants and terminated employees, state agencies enforcing environmental laws, and tort claims. Municipalities must also confront an ever-changing regulatory structure as well as budgetary strain from the rising costs of government services, including insurance and employee benefits.
Our multi-disciplinary team of legal professionals serves as counsel and advisors to municipal officials seeking practical solutions to the legal issues affecting local government.
We also represent private clients before municipal entities on matters such as land use and zoning, public finance, and litigation.
OUR CLIENTS
· Local municipalities (counties, cities, towns, and villages)
· Public authorities
· Private entities (individuals, businesses, corporations)
