Leanne Bolaño Speaking at NACWA Law Enforcement Seminar

Public entity utility attorneys operate at the intersection of regulatory oversight, municipal governance, and public trust. This interactive presentation covers ethical compliance issues—from managing ex parte communications and defining the “true client,” to navigating complex conflict rules, sunshine laws such as open meeting and public records mandate, use of AI, and post-employment restrictions. Designed for in-house and outside public entity counsel, this session offers practical strategies for maintaining rigorous ethical compliance while effectively advancing your agency’s operational goals.
