McNees launches new municipal consulting subsidiary

Ioannis Pashakis//January 25, 2021

Harrisburg-based law firm McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC launched a new subsidiary this week to provide consulting services for municipalities throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.

Keystone Municipal Solutions, also headquartered in Harrisburg, offers interim management and professional consulting services to municipalities, particularly those experiencing leadership transitions or other management challenges, McNees wrote in a press release on Monday.

“When a borough or township manager leaves their position, the daily operations of that municipality can sometimes grind to a halt until the vacancy is filled,” said Adam Santucci, principal of Keystone Municipal Solutions and McNees member attorney. “We recognize the unique challenges that can present to communities. Keystone Municipal Solutions offers those municipalities access to experienced professionals who can keep operations running smoothly until they’ve filled the position.”

McNees is a full-service law firm with over 130 attorneys operating from offices in Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, State College and Scranton, Pennsylvania; Columbus, Ohio; Frederick, Maryland; and Washington, D.C.

Brian Jackson, McNees’ chair, said that the idea for the company grew out of the firm’s existing relationships with municipalities.

“Our local government clients would frequently seek advice and counsel from us when they were left without full-time management, and we knew we could develop a solution that would meet their needs,” Jackson said.
