Overview

Amrit Kulkarni is a member of the Executive Committee and chairs the Land Use, Environmental Law, and Transportation & Infrastructure Practice Groups, reflecting the reality that these practices are highly integrated, the respective laws and regulations often overlap and clients depend on his strategic insight at the intersection of the three areas.

Amrit’s specialty is providing transaction and litigation counsel on high-profile, complex and often controversial transportation infrastructure and commercial and urban development projects. He also has experience advising on the unique issues involved in public-private partnerships.

Amrit’s project experience includes serving local, state and national clients that are involved in airports, passenger transit systems, freight rail networks, ports, harbors, highways, water resources, office buildings, mixed-use residential developments, university campus expansions and a wide range of commercial and industrial facilities. He advises on an extensive scope of laws, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), State Planning and Zoning Law, Coastal Act, Tidelands Trust, Subdivision Map Act, Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act, Mitigation Fee Act and Clean Water Act, among others.

Amrit provides transactional counsel during a project’s planning, development and implementation phases, particularly relating to the entitlement process, as well as litigation expertise when clients need to defend or challenge a project. Amrit is recognized for his outstanding record of litigation victories, involving complex factual and legal issues that arise under CEQA, NEPA and other environmental laws that apply to projects in California, including trial court, Court of Appeal and California Supreme Court.
