Whether you’re a contractor looking for insight into the bidding process for a prospective government client, or a local advocacy group trying to hold your elected officials accountable, Offit Kurman will advocate for your best interests strategically and efficiently. In addition to the Federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), we help our clients navigate state public records laws like Maryland’s Public Information Act (MPIA), Pennsylvania’s Right to Know Law (RTKL), New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act (OPRA), and New York’s Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). Adding to our depth of experience, we have also spent years advising and litigating on behalf of local government agencies.
