Gwinnett Commissioners recently appointed Mike Ludwiczak to the position of county attorney.
Commission Chairman Charlotte Nash said, “I have known and worked with Mike for many years. He has a deep understanding of the issues facing the county, a solid legal mind and the kind of good judgment the commissioners and I can rely on.”
Ludwiczak, who has been with the county for 21 years and most recently served as acting county attorney, will lead eight lawyers with a combined 193 years of legal experience.
“We have a lot of complicated issues before us but I have confidence in the sound advice of our legal team and the wisdom of the board,” Ludwiczak said.
The county law department handles agenda items, legal opinions, claims, policies, open records requests and ordinances and resolutions. These attorneys also provide advice on state and local legislation, board and authority meetings, contracts and intergovernmental agreements, real estate transactions and strategic planning.
The department also handles litigation on issues ranging from employment matters to zoning to tax appeals. About 99 percent of the issues are handled internally.
