Special Counsel

The Ohio Attorney General is legal counsel to Ohio’s numerous state agencies, departments, boards, commissions, colleges, universities and public retirement systems.

The legal needs of these state clients are vast and vary in complexity and area of expertise. In some instances, the Attorney General appoints private-sector attorneys as special counsel to assist with those cases. The Legal Services Section oversees the administration of special counsel contracts.
