Practice Areas: Public Entity Self-Insured Risk Pools

California law allows local public entities to band together in groups to jointly exercise authority of their members. These groups are known as joint powers authorities. Many JPAs exist to allow self-insurance risk pools, in which the members share risks that might otherwise be insured, and govern their risk sharing obligations by a coverage memorandum.

The firm's attorneys have provided trial and appellate representation and hundreds of coverage opinions to such authorities since the mid-1990s.
