Description
Santa Fe County is seeking multiple law firms or individual attorneys to provide on‑call general legal counsel and representation across a broad list of practice areas, ranging from environmental and water law to employment, land‑use, native American law, and litigation support. The procurement is a multiple‑source award; firms may be selected for any subset of the 19 listed practice areas, and the County may assign specific matters as they arise.
