Description

Franklin County seeks a law firm to serve as County Attorney and provide legal counsel to the County Commissioners, County Administrator, and Human Resources. Services include advising on county business and legal questions, attending commissioner meetings when requested, preparing contracts and other legal instruments, reporting and maintaining litigation records, and supporting the transfer of authority when the appointed County Attorney is unavailable. The proposal must identify the key attorney, describe the firm and relevant public-sector experience, provide staff resumes and client references, and explain the firm's approach to coverage during the attorney's absence. The County anticipates negotiating a three-year services contract. Compensation is expected to be hourly, but alternative fee arrangements are invited. The selected firm must carry professional liability insurance, with coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence. The proposal form requests firm and attorney information, insurance details, rates, and travel billing practices; it also requests specified narrative materials and references.
