Welcome to the on-line office of Renne Sloan Holtzman Sakai LLP,
Public Law Group, specializing in legal representation for cities, counties, school districts, special districts, state agencies, non-profit organizations and individuals.
About the Firm
The firm's roots reach back to successful outside-the-box approaches applied by Louise Renne and Jonathan Holtzman in the San Francisco City Attorney's Office.
In the public sector, legal proceedings may not always be the most practical or efficient approach to problem solving. RSHS's value derives in large part from its proven ability to communicate directly and effectively with elected officials and high-level policy-makers. Our attorneys grasp the political and policy contexts of problems, and apply that knowledge to get results for clients.
Solving ComplexProblems
RSHS brings a multi-disciplinary skill set to the table. The firm's attorneys have a solid grasp of economics, municipal finance, public policy, and the role of government and non-profits in providing essential services. The RSHS approach combines that strategic experience with the specialized skills of other professionals in related fields, including, for example, compensation, benefits, finance, and public relations.
Applying TechnologicalInnovation
RSHS doesn't merely provide strategic advice, leaving interpretation and implementation to others. Instead, our attorneys also take pride in their ability to produce tangible results promptly and cost-effectively. Applying its expertise in information technology, RSHS can produce, often on the spot, a finished product that will help move a client's project forward.

Model ofRepresentation
The firm's roots reach back to successful outside-the-box approaches applied by Louise Renne and Jonathan Holtzman in the San Francisco City Attorney's Office. Widely credited with creating a new model for the modern municipal law firm, Louise Renne built a nationally recognized 200 lawyer public law practice recognized for its high standard of excellence in every area of government affairs from land use and public safety to more cutting-edge fields such as telecommunications and energy regulation. She recast the municipal attorney in a more activist role as legal problem solver, inter-agency and community mediator, and neighborhood services provider. Among other achievements, she won national recognition for San Francisco's innovation in code enforcement, guided the city to the successful termination of federal consent decrees integrating the police and fire departments, and developed an unprecedented local government plaintiffs practice. It is this model of innovation that serves as the standard for RSHS's work on behalf of its clients.
