Best Best & Krieger LLP (BBK) is proud to be a sponsor and exhibitor at the 2025 California Special Districts Association (CSDA) Annual Conference & Exhibitor Showcase, the premier event for special district leaders and public agency professionals across California. BBK attorneys will be on hand throughout the conference to connect with attendees and share key insights on legal issues affecting special districts. Partner Dean Atyia will offer guidance on navigating public engagement during rate adjustments, presenting strategies to mitigate conflict, maintain public trust, and ensure procedural compliance while managing sensitive financial decisions. As demands for government transparency grow, Director of PRA Services and E-Discovery Counsel, Darren Ziegler will lead a comprehensive California Public Records Act (CPRA) training tailored specifically for public agency personnel. Attendees will gain tools for strengthening records management, responding to records requests efficiently, and avoiding common legal pitfalls under the CPRA. Whether you are looking to expand your legal knowledge, enhance transparency practices, or network with public agency leaders, BBK’s presence at CSDA 2025 will offer valuable opportunities for learning and collaboration.
