The California real estate development entitlement process presents obstacles for projects of all sizes and purposes. We pride ourselves on providing all of the legal services and advocacy needed to timely and successfully shepherd residential and commercial developments through the gauntlet of local permitting and state regulations, including the California Environmental Quality Act.

If a client’s development project approvals are appealed or the subject of litigation, we provide highly-skilled and strategic advocacy, including significant litigation experience. Our clients benefit from our long-standing work and relationships with local and state agencies, boards and commissions. Our industry participation includes leadership and active membership on local and regional boards, including the Oakland Builders Alliance, the Bay Area Council, and San Francisco Planning and Urban Research (SPUR).
