2. Problem Solvers. NG&N has always prided itself in being problem solvers. Timeand time again, while working with local government staff/ NG&N has provided creativesolutions to issues while being sensitive to political and economic constraints. The Firm isactively involved in all aspects of representation of governmental entities, including lobbying,drafting and changing legislation, arguing significant public policy issues before the FloridaSupreme Court, risk management, taxation, assessments, public-private partnerships/ creationand maximization of revenue streams and the myriad of other issues unique to localgovernments. Since NG&N has limited its practice primarily to the representation of localgovernments, NG&N avoids conflicts such as representing the City in one matter andrepresenting private parties with adversarial interests to the City in another.
