Local Government
Since our founding in 1970, GrayRobinson has represented local governments in both legal and lobbying matters. Beginning with our founding partner Charlie Gray, who served as Orlando City Solicitor in the 1960s and later as Orange County Attorney, we maintain a deep commitment to supporting cities, counties, and special districts across Florida.
Our team understands the issues most critical to local governments, including home rule authority, state preemption, intergovernmental cooperation, and the funding challenges that affect daily operations and long-term planning. Through decades of advocacy before the legislative and executive branches at the state and federal levels, we have developed the practical insight needed to protect local governance, secure resources, and advance community priorities.
This longstanding experience equips us to fiercely advocate for public sector clients, helping them navigate an evolving policy landscape with clarity and precision and secure appropriations and grant funding for vital community projects.

GrayRobinson’s strong reputation for reliable, results-oriented advocacy before state, federal, and local governments attracts clients ranging from small businesses and mid-sized companies to national and international enterprises. With decades of experience anticipating legislative and enforcement actions, we ensure that our clients’ goals are visible and known to the right policymakers at the right time.
Fortune 500 corporations, health care systems, construction and design firms, alcohol and tobacco distributors, technology companies, financial institutions, consumer products companies, and local businesses rely on GrayRobinson's depth and influence. Our professionals include accomplished government advisors and nationally recognized attorneys across regulatory law, criminal defense, and corporate transactions. Together, we offer today's businesses a comprehensive team to advance their interests, interpret complex statutory and regulatory frameworks, and mitigate legal and reputational risks.
Our multifaceted approach safeguards both immediate and long-term objectives, whether securing government contracts or subsidies, shaping favorable policy outcomes, or defending against costly legislation or tax increases.
