Why You Need Legal Review

It is critical that your code reflects current law

Non-compliance could threaten your ability to enforce laws, subject you and your elected officials to liability, and result in legal costs.

At least bi-annually, you should engage an experienced attorney to review your code to identify needed legal amendments required to comply with state statutes, federal codes and relevant case law.

Our team of attorneys includes experts in your state. They are here to streamline and enhance your county or municipal code, ensuring accuracy, compliance and effectiveness.

MITIGATE COMMON COMPLIANCE ISSUES WITH LEGAL REVIEW

State legislatures propose, debate and act on bills every or every other year. In the interim, federal laws and executive orders are passed, and a steady stream of state, federal and Supreme Court cases continue to flow.

With this constant flurry of legislative activity, it’s difficult to remain diligent in tracking changes in the laws that affect your code – some modestly and others, potentially significantly!

Don’t let this expose you to liabilities.

10-step legal review process

A Step-by-Step Legal Review Process to Ensure the Integrity of Your Code

  1. Arrange a conversation to discuss observations, known shortcomings and areas of focus.
  2. Review and approve a scope of work and fee proposal.
  3. Execute an amendment to the existing agreement or a new services agreement.
  4. Codify all recent ordinance amendments to bring the code current.
  5. Document the starting point and denote subsequently adopted ordinances to review following their codification.
  6. Receive and review a legal review memorandum.
  7. Arrange a meeting between your attorney and our legal team to discuss warranted amendments.
  8. Authorize the drafting of new and amended code provisions.
  9. Adopt the updated code.
  10. Publish the code online and issue digital supplements, as requested.

Need to Codify or Re-Codify Your Code?

NO PROBLEM. WE CAN DO THAT!

Codes require constant upkeep. The adoption of amendments requires routine legislative updates. Otherwise, the code quickly becomes dated and falls out of compliance. When that happens, a larger, more costly effort is needed to codify or – if substantial time has passed – re-codify the code.
