Municipal Law
Lewis & Kappes provides services to municipalities and local governmental units on a variety of legal matters. Our legal work for municipalities includes:
Municipal utilities and services
Local government improvement and public works projects
Public lawsuits
Civil rights claims
Municipal financing
Annexations
Eminent domain proceedings
Land use disputes
Lewis & Kappes attorneys have represented local government in connection with many public works projects, which often involve contested eminent domain proceedings. We have also successfully defended challenges to annexations at the trial court and through the Indiana Supreme Court. We have handled negotiations, regulatory proceedings and civil actions on behalf of municipal utilities. We also have served as bond counsel, issuer's counsel and underwriter's counsel on numerous tax-exempt financings.
