Municipal Interests

Municipalities and other public entities are facing an increasing number of legal actions and enduring increasing public and media scrutiny at the same time.  For these reasons, it is important that public entities and authorities have proactive, creative representation that is sometimes discreet but always cost-efficient and effective.  Collins & Lacy's Public Entity and Municipal Interests Team provides such representation.

Our attorneys assist public entities and public entity insurers in risk management and offer suggestions to proactively prevent liability and reduce potential exposure. In the event of litigation, Collins & Lacy attorneys apply a unique blend of thorough fact finding and creative and progressive trial strategies to achieve favorable outcomes.

Our lawyers also have experience representing public entities with the power of eminent domain.  Our attorneys' comfort with eminent domain procedures is indispensable, given the increasing number of municipal projects such as sewage and water expansions in many growing communities.
