Our experience allows us to work with governmental entities on a diverse array of issues, from those involving general public law to public finance and economic development to environmental law to public utilities issues to complex litigation.
Our team includes several Calfee lawyers who have held top positions in government at the local, state, and federal levels, including as a member of Congress, a mayor of a major Ohio city, director of a cabinet-level state agency, and a major Ohio city law director. Our government sector attorneys' in-house experience as government employees enables them to fully understand the unique legal, political and community issues that impact government entity clients as they seek to resolve their legal challenges for their constituents.
