We Have Represented Government Entities in Utah for Over 60 years
Government entities operate in a highly competitive, highly scrutinized environment, and compliance with complex legal requirements is essential. The failure to follow applicable government contracting or other regulatory requirements may have serious consequences.
Our highly experienced team of reputable government defense lawyers represents cities, counties, municipalities, water districts, police officers and police departments, and other governmental agencies involved in a wide range of matters. This includes public contracting, employment, land use and zoning, liability and immunity claims, employment matters, and alleged civil rights actions (including those arising under Section 1983).
One area of our government defense practice for which we have significant experience involves representation of police officers and police departments accused of civil rights infractions.
Over decades of providing representation, we have developed the unique experience necessary to handle these, potentially high profile, matters. We appreciate the trust placed in us on behalf of the public entities that we represent. We understand their concern in retaining legal counsel who are not only experienced in this area but who are cognizant of budgetary concerns.
