Rutan & Tucker: PUBLIC LAW, REAL ESTATE ATTORNEYS START GROUP
Rutan & Tucker has created a new practice group to sharpen its focus on land use and natural resources matters. The 30-attorney land use/natural resources practice group is made up of lawyers from the firm's public law and real estate departments. The Costa Mesa law firm tapped public law partner Kathy Jenson to head the new group.
The 30-attorney land use/natural resources practice group is made up of lawyers from the firm's public law and real estate departments. The Costa Mesa law firm tapped public law partner Kathy Jenson to head the new group.
"The firm has always had a very active land use and natural resources practice, but it's never had a separate practice group that is just for land use and natural resources," Jenson explains.
Rutan & Tucker also plans to expand the group, although it has no specific target number at this point, she notes.
The group serves clients on matters ranging from environmental review and entitlement processing to water and endangered species issues. Its client base includes cities, school districts and water districts, as well as private developers and land owners.
Among the group's clients are the cities of San Clemente, Irvine and Long Beach, Newport Beach developer Robert Mayer Corp., and Chapman University.
"It's going to be a lot of fun," Jenson adds. "I love land use."
Rutan & Tucker, Orange County's largest law firm, has 122 lawyers in its sole office in Costa Mesa.
