A boutique law firm built specifically around complex California land-use law — commercial, residential, industrial and mixed-use development, CEQA review and entitlement litigation. Unlike a general-practice firm with a land-use group, effectively the whole firm is registered to lobby the City.
Fees reported to the City of Los Angeles Ethics Commission by this firm’s clients in their quarterly filings. Figures cover City of Los Angeles lobbying only — County, Metro, LAUSD and state work is reported to separate registries and is not included here.
