Sugarman Rogers offers strategic advice and counsel to both private and public sector clients on all aspects of government law at the federal, state, and local levels. We also represent municipalities and state authorities in a broad range of litigation matters, as well as private parties who are in litigation with complex issues involving government agencies and policy. Government Law Chair Kate Cook draws upon her expertise in these matters, having served as Chief Legal Counsel to Governor Patrick, as well as General Counsel to the Massachusetts Senate Committee on Ways & Means, and Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Boston.

Collaborating with our clients, we develop creative solutions to the unique challenges that arise when interfacing with government. In addition to litigating matters involving state and local government entities, we also counsel our clients on government ethics, conflicts of interest, constitutional law, public records, lobbying, campaign finance, election law, municipal law, crisis management, and legislative and regulatory drafting. We understand how federal, state, and local government operates, and we work strategically with our clients with the benefit of that understanding to avoid legal problems and resolve disputes.
