Pittsburgh City Council solicitor to advise council on legal matters, separate of city’s law department

Pittsburgh City Council on Thursday formally introduced Daniel Friedson as council’s first council solicitor.

With over 20 years of experience, Friedson will advise council on legal matters.

City Council last fall decided to hire its own solicitor. Council had previously relied on the legal advice of the city’s law department, which often represents the views of the major.

The city solicitor and the city’s law department have legal jurisdiction over all administrative, legislative and municipal matters for the city. Pittsburgh’s Home Rule Charter, however, allows council to appoint its own independent legal representative, separate from the mayor’s office and law department.

Friedson said he is committed to working with the law department, but will maintain legal fidelity to City Council.

He was hired at a starting annual

Black Box Tips: Maintaining Privilege Over Legal Advice Within An Organization | Dentons

This week Lisa McCreath takes a look at maintaining privilege over legal advice within an organization

Life’s greatest learning opportunities often come from things that go wrong. Only businesses that are properly vested in learning from mistakes are truly positioned to maximize their potential.

The aviation industry has this down to a fine art. When things go wrong, the black box flight recorder ensures that their errors are “data rich”. That industry’s ability to learn from its mistakes has taken it from one of the most dangerous forms of transport to one of the safest.

Bannon Sees Good In Judge’s Doubts On Legal Advice Ruling

By Khorri Atkinson (July 29, 2022, 1:36 PM EDT) — Fresh off a DC jury verdict finding him guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress, ex-Trump White House aide Steve Bannon and his defense team quickly declared that it would not stand, thanks at least in part to a pretrial ruling they believe gives them ammunition for their expected appeal.

Bannon himself said after the verdict, “​We may have lost a battle here today, but we’re not going to lose this war.” Defense attorney David I. Schoen said, “​This is round one.” He then said the decision was grounds for “a bulletproof appeal.”
