Municipal Law Practice Group

Nauman Smith provides advice and other legal services to many political subdivisions in south central Pennsylvania. For example, we serve as solicitor to local governments on county, township, borough and municipal authority matters. We also represent zoning hearing boards on land use issues.

Our municipal work requires a close collaborative relationship with public officials who grapple with the constant challenges facing local governments in Pennsylvania. For municipal lawyers, such working relationships are sustained through great attention to detail and timely performance - hallmarks of Nauman Smith's professional credo.

A successful municipal practice requires various legal skills, from drafting detailed contracts and negotiating agreements, to handling competitive bidding and personnel questions, to addressing complicated real estate and tax issues. By experience and temperament, we are prepared to prosecute or defend civil law suits involving our municipal clients. We are also prepared to actively engage in all manner of administrative proceedings - from informal disputes with PennDOT, to DEP enforcement actions, to adversarial hearings before the Public Utility Commission.

The needs of our many clients place us on the cutting edge of topical municipal law matters such as the Right-to-Know and Sunshine Laws. For more information see our Right-to-Know Law Practice Group. We are also helping municipalities address problems with aging infrastructure, a concern to all Pennsylvanians.

When it comes to municipal law, Nauman Smith is ready to offer inciteful guidance and timely service.
