Dionne & Rorick’s attorneys are intimately familiar with the legal framework under which municipal corporations must operate. We regularly attend city council meetings and are seasoned parliamentarians. We are familiar with the important roles of each city official, from council-members and commissioners to mayors, city administrators, city clerks, and department heads. We regularly field client questions on the Public Records and Open Public Meetings Acts, advise our clients when it is appropriate to discuss matters in executive session, and assist in preparing documents for public disclosure. We know that our city clients face a struggle between keeping sensitive matters confidential and allowing the “sun to shine” upon government affairs; we make it our mission to overcome this tension so that our clients can focus on delivering public services while ensuring an appropriate level of public participation in government.
