Local government law includes the practice of law before County and City governments on behalf of private businesses and citizens.

Today, commercial businesses must work with local governments to operate and be good corporate citizens. Each local governmental entity has a charter and ordinances which affect the use of personal and property interest. Local governments are given the power to regulate most commercial activity within their geographical boundaries.
