PUBLIC REPORTS

Whether it's a performance/policy evaluation, financial audit, or investigation, our attorneys are members of our teams. From the first day of a project, they are there to help navigate the web of federal, state, and local laws. Because there is so much variation in our work, they are always learning about new policy issues. And when problems are tricky, they help our teams by performing extensive research and developing legal conclusions. After they've signed off that our reports are legally sound, they are beside us at the Capitol answering questions and defending our work.

REDISTRICTING COMMISSION

The Voters FIRST Act gave the power to draw Congressional and State district lines to the California citizens to ensure that new and fair political boundaries are drawn without special interests, politics, and political influence. Every ten years, our office plays an important role in selecting the commission that will redraw the lines. Our attorneys are essential in this process from adopting regulations, providing advice on running public meetings, and overseeing the application and selection process.

LEGAL CONSULTATION

Our attorneys support every element of our office—literally. In addition to helping audit teams untangle the State's biggest problems, they are also here to help our office ensure we are making sound business decisions. Whether it is working with our human resources team or helping to develop a contract, our attorneys get a wide range of opportunities and experiences.
