Downey Brand LLP

Clients turn to Downey Brand for efficient and practical legal advice. We have built a reputation of understanding the industries and businesses of our clients and working with them to advance their business goals. Founded in California’s capital city of Sacramento, Downey Brand is strategically positioned to serve clients in business, natural resources and litigation matters throughout California, Northern Nevada and beyond. As a preeminent full-service law firm, we offer counsel in more than 25 areas of civil practice including energy, water, agriculture, corporate, business planning, bankruptcy, employment, construction, real estate, trusts and estates and family law. We focus on providing these services to public corporations, governmental entities, privately held companies, family-owned businesses and individuals. Our clients’ industries are as vast and diverse as our region – financial institutions, agricultural producers, forest products, energy, retail, construction, real estate, public agencies and non-profit organizations. Our firm's heritage of community involvement started more than 50 years ago with our assistance in the formation of Legal Services of Northern California. Today, our attorneys serve on over 30 charitable boards throughout our region supporting such causes as animal welfare, food banks, women’s shelters, hospice services, theatre groups, as well as our thriving local art museum. For more than 90 years, our success has derived from earning the trust of our clients. Many of these relationships have spanned decades, which is a testament to our legal skills, our responsiveness and our ability to understand our clients’ goals. We intend to perpetuate this legacy by continuing to provide practical advice that allows our clients to advance their interests.
