Municipal Law & Governance
The laws firm’s attorneys have served as both general and special counsel to governmental bodies and political subdivisions in Missouri and Kansas. Together the attorneys in the Municipal Law & Governance group have over a century of tenure in public law with more than 40 years serving as in-house city attorneys. This length and breadth of direct involvement with municipal governments leaves our lawyers with few rivals in the minds of many clients.
We are proud to be the leading law firm for municipal law and governance in the Kansas City region. Navigate to our Project Map to learn more about the work we have completed.
