Project Planning, Delivery Methods and Financing

To facilitate the success of a project from its beginning, Lozano Smith coordinates with public agencies to ensure that project planning, financing, environmental review (CEQA) and delivery method selection comply with current and complex legal requirements. Every project is different, and our attorneys can help your agency choose from the various project alternatives that exist to best meet project goals. Lozano Smith regularly advises clients about advantages and disadvantages of the delivery methods being considered by public agencies in California today. Effective planning at the outset of a project, along with a thorough understanding of the associated legal, economic and political challenges, provides an agency with the best opportunity to deliver a project successfully without legal conflict at its conclusion.

Lozano Smith has special experience addressing issues unique to our school district clients. We often assist school districts with legal issues ranging from state funding to obtaining site approvals for new schools, helping them navigate the channels of the State Allocation Board, Office of Public School Construction and California Department of Education. Our attorneys have expertise negotiating financing agreements with developers and helping school districts collect developer fees for new school construction. A select group of attorneys also serve as bond counsel to school districts.
