SSL represents developers, property owners, investors, contractors, and financial institutions across the full lifecycle of residential and commercial development and construction projects. Our expertise spans all phases of the entitlement, development, and construction process from project conception and regulatory approvals through design contracting, construction management agreements, and project closeout. This includes development agreements, subdivision approvals, CC&Rs, environmental review, disclosure requirements, and the negotiation and documentation of design and construction contracts with architects, engineers, general contractors, construction managers, and specialty trades.
SSL attorneys have deep experience structuring, documenting, and implementing complex public/private partnership projects. Having represented both private developers and governmental entities in these transactions, we are uniquely positioned to bridge parties with different mandates aligning public benefit objectives with private development goals to achieve outcomes that work for all stakeholders. Our cross sector perspective enables us to anticipate and resolve the legal, political, and transactional challenges that distinguish public/private projects from conventional development.
