I am an environmental partner in the San Francisco office of Allen Matkins and co-leader of the firm’s Contaminated Sites Practice. During my more than 30 years of practice, I have counseled clients on the investigation, cleanup, management, purchase, and sale of hundreds of environmentally impacted properties in California, including former industrial facilities, shopping centers, gas stations, dry cleaners, military bases, rail yards, marinas, and landfills. I also have extensive experience in negotiating and resolving disputes concerning environmental liabilities, and the placement of and recovery under environmental insurance policies. Beyond my technical and legal expertise, I bring to my projects a thorough understanding of California’s complex regulatory processes and a long and productive history with key decision-makers in California’s regulatory and enforcement agencies. I also regularly represent clients on a broad variety of environmental regulatory and enforcement matters, including Proposition 65.
Listed skills include Environmental Law, Land Use Law, Real Estate, Redevelopment, and 11 others.
