Municipal & Local Government
Axley has represented municipalities and their
insurers in litigation matters since the inception of the firm in 1885. Our
experience and knowledge regarding the unique issues and circumstances that
municipalities and school districts must address have proven invaluable in
obtaining results favorable to our clients. Our attorneys bring a unique
understanding to this area of law gained through first-hand experience. We also
understand that lawsuits and administrative proceedings are exceptions to the
daily responsibilities of municipalities and school districts. That means our
goal is to work closely with municipal and school district administrators, and
their general counsel, to bring litigation matters to a prompt resolution. We
take responsibility for the litigation, which then enables administrators to
focus on their daily work of delivering services to their public and
educational constituents. A representative listing of examples of matters we
address for municipalities and school districts includes:
- Open records/open meetings lawsuits
- Section 1983 Civil Rights claims
- Discrimination claims, including claims under the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
- Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) claims
- Constitutional claims, including First Amendment free speech
claims, search and seizure claims and excessive force claims
- Non-renewal of teacher and administrator contracts for
school districts
- Privacy and confidentiality violation claims
