Morris Laing represents Kansas cities across the full range of municipal practice. We advise councils, commissions, mayors, and city managers on the decisions that shape how a city runs. We draft and defend ordinances. We prosecute municipal court cases. We run assessment center hiring processes for city managers, police chiefs, fire chiefs, and other department heads, and we handle the investigations, discipline, terminations, and other personnel actions that follow. We represent cities in connection with land use matters, such as new residential, commercial, or industrial developments.
We work alongside bond counsel on municipal finance matters, including STAR bonds, TIF, CIDs, TDDs, IRBs, and other incentive programs. We also bring experience across administrative law, litigation, real estate, eminent domain, and regulatory matters. But municipal practice is its own discipline. Cities operate in public, under tight budgets, with elected officials and constituents watching. We work with city leaders who need practical answers they can act on. Morris Laing also provides a wide variety of Education Law.
