Overview

Kevin advises charter schools, educational organizations, public agencies and other nonprofits on corporate compliance, such as forming and organizing new corporations, reorganizations and restructuring, obtaining state and federal tax exemptions, ongoing reporting obligations, and wind ups and dissolutions. His practice involves a variety of land use and environmental matters, including the representation of public agencies, Native American tribes, developers, businesses and individuals concerning permitting and entitlements, compliance and enforcement matters, as well implementing land use restrictions, easements and conservation easements, encroachments, and takings or condemnation of private property for water projects and other public uses through the exercise of eminent domain. Kevin also advises charter schools and educational organizations on facilities issues, such as lease negotiations and Proposition 39 facilities requests and facilities use agreements.
