Land ownership, development and redevelopment involve multiple layers of governmental regulations.  The Henderson Law Firm provides its clients with decades of legal experience concerning how best to navigate real estate transactions and obtain all approvals needed to develop or redevelop real property.

Before attending law school, Henderson helped to develop a remote barrier island on the coast of North Carolina.  As a litigator, Henderson represented non-profit organizations that are keenly interested in responsible land use: Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Defense Fund, Heal the Bay, Santa Monica Baykeeper, and Friends of Ballona Wetlands.

Since 2002, Henderson has practiced law on behalf of responsible developers, builders, landowners and their associates.  Henderson served as an in-house counsel for KB Home, a national homebuilder, and then for almost nine years as the General Counsel of both the Building Industry Legal Defense Foundation (BILD) and the Building Industry Association of Southern California, Inc. (BIASC).  At BILD and BIASC, Henderson served more than 1,000 member companies that build communities and homes throughout Southern California; and he covered the legal and regulatory waterfront for the industry.

Henderson's experience spans a wide range of legal and regulatory subjects relevant to real estate ownership and development, including land use planning, subdivisions and zoning, entitlements, title issues, boundary disputes and encroachments, CEQA and NEPA, regulatory takings, storm water regulations, water supply and connection fees, sustainability, infrastructure planning, low-impact development, mitigation, impact, school, parks, and encroachment fees, prevailing wage requirements, inclusionary (affordability) requirements, natural resource management and endangered species, energy efficiency, greenhouse gas reduction and "indirect source" regulation of the transportation impacts of land use, and more.
