Municipal and Institutional Service

Pennsylvania Local Government and Municipal Law

Many Pennsylvania townships, boroughs, and other municipal bodies are too small to have full-time staff, let alone full-time counsel knowledgeable about the laws and rules affecting governmental bodies. It is essential that local officials know the legal obligations of municipalities and municipal authorities of all kinds in matters relating to public meetings, ordinances, taxation, and public contracting--otherwise you can expose your constituents to substantial liability to a citizen or group aggrieved by invalid or unauthorized official action.

For dependable advice about the conduct of public business in your community, contact a municipal law attorney at Reilly, Wolfson, Sheffey, Schrum and Lundberg, LLP, in Lebanon. We have considerable experience with advising and representing local government entities such as the following:

• Municipalities
• School districts
• Regional economic development corporations
• Transportation authorities
• Municipal and health care authorities

Our lawyers can help you comply with statutory and regulatory requirements on matters ranging from the proper conduct of public meetings to annual reporting and audit requirements. Our experience with municipal law can help you stay current with the rapidly changing legal landscape for local government.

Our firm also serves as counsel to institutional clients of all kinds--public hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living centers, physicians' groups, colleges, and private schools.
