Practice Area

Municipal & Local Government

City attorney and general counsel services for cities, special districts, and public agencies across Southern California.

We serve as city attorney, general counsel, and special counsel to municipalities, special districts, joint powers authorities, and other public agencies throughout Southern California.

Our work spans the full range of public agency practice: the Brown Act and public meeting compliance, the Public Records Act, conflicts of interest under the Political Reform Act and Government Code section 1090, municipal ordinances and code enforcement, public contracting and competitive bidding, elections, and the day-to-day counsel that keeps a public agency operating soundly.

We advise councils, boards, and staff in closed session and in public, and we are equally comfortable at the dais and in the courtroom when an agency decision is challenged.
