Governments provide many services to their citizenry.  Often provided on the municipal or regional level, these services include water and wastewater treatment, electrical generation and distribution, streets and roads, solid waste collection and disposal, bus and rail mass transportation, fire, police and emergency services, and parks and recreation.  All these aspects of good government require legal support to assure their compliance.  Our attorneys actively participate with government providers to assure compliance with the law and limit liability while expanding services under limited budgets.  Many Lathrop & Gage attorneys themselves have been involved in the government process and have worked in or managed these type of activities and are adept at working through complex administration, statutory and litigation matters.
