Forward-Thinking Legal Guidance: Land Use & CEQA

YM&C attorneys represent public agencies in all phases of land use planning and environmental compliance under CEQA and related statutes. We assist with zoning decisions, development entitlements, mitigation measures, and litigation involving environmental impacts. Our attorneys work closely with planning staff and consultants to ensure legally defensible approvals and processes.
