SCHNEIDER <br />bschneider(@wsh-law.com <br />Re: Cover Letter and Executive Summary —RFP No. 19-02-01 (City Attorney) <br />Dear Mayor Scholl and City Commissioners: <br />On behalf of the law ficin of Weiss 5erota Helfman Cole &Bierman, P.L. (the "Firm"), <br />I am delighted to submit the Firm's proposal inresponse to the City of Sunny Isles Beach's Request <br />for Proposals for Professional Legal Services No. 19-02-01 (the "RFP"). For more than 27 years, <br />our Firm has been the preeminent full-service municipal law firm in South Florida dedicated to <br />serving as the "one-stop shop" for municipalities seeking the services of a city attorney that can <br />provide the full range of legal services necessary to serve a Florida municipality. I am authorized <br />to make this proposal on the Firm's behalf and my contact information can be found on the cover <br />page of this proposal. <br />Firm Background <br />The Firm was created in 1991 with the idea that local governments need the same high <br />level of professional legal representation as for-profit corporations and businesses. Similar to <br />private companies, local governments are multi-million dollar businesses with large staffs, <br />complex regulatory schemes and very demanding shareholders, namely, the citizens. Like <br />corporate law, securities law and estate planning, municipal law is a highly specialized and <br />complex area of the law. Our Firm is one of the few Florida law firms with a practice primarily <br />focused upon the representation of local governments an <br />d public -sector entities. <br />Our AV rated Firm provides the broadest possible range of high-quali <br />ty legal services, <br />constantly evolving to meet the needs of municipalities, counties, special districts and other <br />governmental entities throughout Florida. Collectively, our attorneys have centuries of experience <br />in the many legal practice areas that are relevant to running cities and local government entities. <br />2525 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Suite 700, Coral Gables, FL 33234 � 305-854-oSoo � www.wsh-law.com <br />
