Persons residing in a given territory by law form self-governing communities, including local and regional ones. Depending on the territory the community covers, we refer to it as commune, county and province. They are appointed to perform public tasks. First of all, they take care of the collective needs of the community, as well as perform tasks commissioned in the field of government administration, including carrying out elections and documents. In everyday life, it is local government bodies and their offices that are the place where natural persons and economic entities conduct most of the administrative proceedings that are important for them. The activity of the Law Firm is not limited only to the representing our clients in these proceedings.

For many years, we have been providing comprehensive services to local government units. It entails both executive bodies and the offices and legislative bodies that serve them, as well as organizational units set up by local governments.
