THE LAW DEPARTMENT is dedicated to the protection of the legal interests of the City of North Royalton so that the Mayor, Council, and all Departments can most fully serve our citizens.


The Law Department advises the Mayor, Council, and all City Departments, Boards and Commissions on all legal matters concerning the City. The department represents the City in all court proceedings and before any administrative body. The department prepares and/or reviews all contracts, legislation, and all legal documents as well as negotiating for the right-of-way acquisitions in conjunction with capital projects and the preparation of all land deeds.
 

A key objective of the department includes reducing the number of issues that lead to litigation and keeping costly litigation to a minimum. Also, the department makes every effort to handle all legal matters in house. There are some exceptions such as labor issues, matters involving issues covered by the City’s insurance carriers, and matters involving the use of bond counsel.  In all other legal matters, the Department strives to keep to a minimum, the number of litigation cases handled by outside counsel.
 

From 1999 to 2003, the Department operated under budget. Further, the number of litigations filed and litigations pending have significantly decreased with fewer cases handled by outside counsel.
