Board renews professional services agreement with Altitude Law Group for human services counsel
Summary
Park County renewed a professional services agreement with Altitude Law Group LLC to provide specialized counsel for the Department of Human Services, a continuation of an existing contract supporting child-welfare and at-risk-adult matters.
The Park County Board of Human Services, meeting as part of the commissioners’ session, approved renewal of a professional services agreement with Altitude Law Group LLC to provide special counsel for the Department of Human Services.
Officials described the firm’s role as providing child‑welfare and at‑risk‑adult legal services that support the department’s enforcement and protective work. The agreement renews an existing contract and commissioners said past services were effective and the renewal simply continues that arrangement.
A commissioner asked about insurance coverage and whether errors‑and‑omissions or malpractice insurance would be in place; county counsel and staff said the contractor, as an attorney group, is expected to carry malpractice (E&O) insurance per professional standards and that the contract was a standard professional‑services agreement with an updated firm name.
The board approved the renewal 3–0 and staff will complete contract signature and administrative requirements under the existing renewal terms.
