Many may be unaware, but municipal law has an impact on our daily lives. Municipal lawyers provide service to municipal clients, including cities, towns, boroughs, counties, and special districts. Municipal attorneys will often find themselves handling a full range of legal issues, from advising the governing authority, to defending suits brought against the municipality to drafting ordinances and contacting for purchases and development.

This broad field can involve land acquisition, lobbying, labor and employment law, taxation, urban renewal, land acquisition and development, land use regulation, public bidding and contracts, code enforcement and so much more. This presentation will cover some of the general aspects of Civil Municipal Law Practice for anyone interested or actively representing a municipal client.
