McDONOUGH HOLLAND & ALLEN PC GROWS PUBLIC LAW PRACTICE IN OAKLAND

OAKLAND, Calif., Mar. 12, 2007 – McDonough Holland & Allen PC, a leading Northern California law firm representing both private and public sector clients, adds James J. Atencio as an associate to the public law practice group.

“Our public law practice is in significant growth mode, and James’ experience in the Oakland City Attorney’s office makes him well-positioned to continue to serve public entities in a wide array of capacities from redevelopment and land use to public works contracts and finance matters,” said Jeffry R. Jones, managing shareholder at McDonough. 

Atencio joins from the City Attorney’s office in Oakland, where he counseled city departments in various areas of municipal law, including land use, real estate and development, finance, administrative hearing rules, constitutional law, and contract compliance.  During his tenure, he handled design development agreements, leases, licenses and legislation for the Community and Economic Development Agency, City Council, Parks and Recreation, and Oakland Museum.

Previously, Atencio represented public agencies, businesses and individuals at The Law Offices of Kevin W. Finck and at Hanson, Bridgett, Marcus, Vlahos & Rudy LLP.  He received his J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, Boalt Hall School of Law (2000) and his B.B.A., magna cum laude, from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque (1997).
