Government & Public Policy
Roberts & Stevens has a long history of involvement with state and local governments and municipalities. We have consulted and represented towns, cities, counties, and other governmental bodies in areas such as ordinance preparation, policy preparation, zoning and land use, financing, construction, personnel, public housing, property tax issues, property acquisition, annexation, environmental law, and litigation. We assist clients in forging creative strategies to meet their needs at every level of government.
The Government & Public Policy group also provides expert counseling, transactional, litigation, and advisory service for individuals, organizations, and companies that have business or disputes with government bodies. Through our experience dealing with the state of North Carolina as well as local governments and government agencies, we help our clients develop effective and comprehensive strategies to navigate the governmental system.
