Practical Law for state agencies

Accurate guidance, faster than ever

Like attorneys everywhere, lawyers who advise state agencies frequently need to get up to speed on new issues or matters and need to provide timely, competent legal advice to agency clients and be responsive to other stakeholders.

  • You can never say “no” to the legal issues that cross your desk.
  • Public scrutiny - there is added pressure of being in the public eye as a government entity that operates on taxpayer dollars.
  • And, when you’re looking for practice guidance or a template to get started on an unfamiliar matter, you can’t always get what you need by asking colleagues, using Google, or some other unreliable way to get started.
  • Finally, there’s constant budget uncertainty which can make it difficult to hire new lawyers or provide sufficient training for your staff.
