Providing Counseling And Advocacy Services

GJB’s government and municipal attorneys help clients navigate issues that may arise in dealing with local, state or federal governments. We also serve as general counsel for municipalities, and as special counsel in regulation, zoning and land use, employment, and litigation matters.

Our experienced attorneys provide valued counseling and advocacy services in procurement matters, tax disputes, lawsuits, administrative hearings, code violations, business permitting, property rights, and other issues involving government regulations, procedures and processes. Our clients also have access to GJB’s extensive network of personal and professional relationships within all levels of government.

We help our clients address other types of legislative, administrative, procedural, and political issues, including:

• Ad valorem taxes
• Affordable housing
• Business and professional regulations
• Civil rights
• Code enforcement matters
• Construction contracts
• Contracting disputes
• Environmental issues
• Health law
• Land use and zoning
• Legislative and executive branch issues
• Lobbying
• Prospective municipal ordinances
• Public-private partnerships (P3)
• Relocation incentives
• School board matters
• Special benefit districts
• Tax challenges and appeals
• Transportation/airports/seaports
• Zoning and regulatory proceedings and claims

While we strive to help clients avoid the expense and disruption of litigation, our attorneys appear before all state and federal courts and regulatory commissions and serve as advocates for our clients.
