Government Liability Claims

The attorneys at Conroy Simberg handle a diverse range of government liability claims.

We have substantial experience in all types of employment and personnel related matters and regularly represent governmental entities in workers’ compensation claims, discrimination cases and labor contract negotiations and disputes. Our governmental liability attorneys also counsel public entities and officials on Florida’s Sunshine and Public Records Laws.

Reaching Creative and Economical Resolutions

We strive to avoid the time and costs associated with litigation by negotiating creative and economical resolutions for our clients. When beneficial, we use alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation and arbitration, to avoid trial.

When conflicts cannot be resolved in this manner and litigation becomes necessary, our governmental liability lawyers aggressively defend clients at all stages of the state and federal trial and appellate court processes. We work side by side with clients to investigate claims and prepare the strongest defense possible, while keeping clients informed throughout the litigation process, ensuring that they understand all of the laws, regulations and legal precedents that may impact their case.

The lawyers in our governmental liability practice have decades of experience working with government agencies, boards, and councils and understand the unique body of laws and procedures applicable to these entities. Our attorneys use this knowledge to develop strategies and solutions that resolve cases quickly and efficiently while achieving the important objectives of our public sector clients.
