\nHe represents clients in acquiring, leasing, financing, entitling, developing, constructing, selling and exchanging real estate. Additionally, he regularly represents clients regarding general business needs, including formation, entity structure and multi-state operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid brings over 40 years of real estate experience to VLP\u2019s very active group,\u201d said Byron Rodriquez, Chair of the firm\u2019s Affordable Housing & Community Development Practice Group. \u201cWe\u2019re especially looking forward to adding his California and Hawaii land use experience, which will complement our existing developer-focused practices in those states.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prior to joining VLP, Mr. Franklin was a partner of Dentons US LLP and its predecessor-by-merger firms McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP and Luce Forward Hamilton & Scripps LLP. He is a graduate of Duke University School of Law and member of the state bars of both California and Hawaii.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I began practicing law, few if any law firms had more than a single office. As technology developed, faxes and then emails made it possible to communicate across continents as easily as to the colleague in the next room. Then we began emailing even to that colleague in the next room,\u201d Mr. Franklin said. \u201cNow I am excited to join a firm that is taking the technology to the next level, doing away with the \u2018next room\u2019 while maintaining the degree of connection between colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n
