GordonDerr has long-standing experience and strong familiarity with the environmental and land use matters facing municipal governments, various special purpose districts, such as water and sewer districts, school districts, public utility districts, ports, airports, marinas, and irrigation districts. GordonDerr's municipal attorneys work closely with city attorneys, county prosecutors, and agency counsel to form a team that takes advantage of the skills and experience that each brings to resolving unique issues facing local governments.

The firm's attorneys have the proven ability to brief elected officials clearly and concisely; to lay out options, together with the pros, cons and implications of each; recognize the role of public opinion and public finances in policy decisions; and help legislative bodies identify litigation strategies that balance these sometimes divergent interests in a fiscally-responsible manner while protecting the vital long-term interests of the jurisdiction as a whole.
