Land Use / CEQA Attorney (6+ years) | 1800 hours

  2026-01-18     Above the Bar     Hayward,CA  
Description:

I'm working with a top-tier California firm that combines boutique-level partner access with the depth and sophistication of a much larger platform. The culture is relationship-driven, entrepreneurial, and built around doing what is right for the client over the long term. They seek a senior associate or counsel-level attorney to support California land use and CEQA work.

What you'll handle

  • Zoning, municipal code, planning/permitting, and entitlement strategy across California
  • Land use due diligence and CEQA review support (with the option to lean into CEQA/land use litigation if that's in your wheelhouse)

Why this is a strong time to make a move

California's recent CEQA and housing streamlining changes are actively reshaping approvals for infill housing and infrastructure, creating high demand for practical, solutions-oriented land use counsel.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of California land use experience (firm and/or government)
  • Active California Bar membership
  • CEQA/land use litigation interest is a plus
