San Francisco

Downey Brand’s San Francisco office opened in 2010 to allow the firm to better serve Bay Area clients and to help expand the firm’s statewide services to regional and national clients. Since then, the office has grown into a highly regarded team of skilled attorneys with deep experience in all aspects of environmental, land use, and natural resources law and regulation. In October 2021, the office nearly doubled in size to 17 attorneys when the public utility team from San Francisco-based Goodin MacBride joined the firm. Areas of practice include:

Working in concert with attorneys from Downey Brand’s offices in Sacramento and Stockton, our San Francisco-based attorneys provide comprehensive legal representation of public and private clients in these and other areas of law.

Attorneys in the San Francisco office are the editors of the firm’s CEQA Chronicles blog, which provides timely information and analysis concerning key developments in environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
