Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP is renowned for its capabilities when it comes to large-scale and complex developments, handling the full-suite of associated land use and property development issues in the process, and particularly noted for its work on major stadium and arena work, advising on flagship projects for elite-level sports teams. Entitlements, permitting, development agreements, environmental compliance reviews and public/private partnerships represent the team’s key specialisms in the space. Two senior attorneys co-chair the department: Los Angeles-based Amy Forbes, who focuses on work at the administrative level, and San Francisco’s public private partnerships and historic rehabilitation expert, Mary Murphy. The latter is supported in San Francisco by Allison Kidd, whose sophisticated commercial real estate financing practice includes frequent complex land use work. Of counsels Neil Sekhri  and Sara Ghalandari are other key names in San Francisco. Douglas Champion departed the group in September 2022.
