We recognize the unique nature of municipal government representation. Whenever representing public sector clients, we are ever mindful of our role as an extension of the elected and appointed leadership of the municipality. We are sensitive to the fact that public sector entities operate under close public and media scrutiny. Our clients trust our advice and counsel because they respect our integrity and discretion, and know our interactions with government officials will always reflect positively on their behalf.
