Dongell Lawrence Finney

DLF has a strong litigation, regulatory, and general transactional law practice that services medium and large businesses, insurers, and public entities. We are well known for handling complex, multi-party litigation in a wide variety of substantive areas, and are among the very best in California for handling high-stakes regulatory enforcement matters. Much of DLF's success is attributable to the fact that we do not hesitate to try cases to verdict or administrative ruling. Our transactional practice also involves some of the most interesting and cutting-edge transactions in the country, ranging from the development and construction of geothermal power plants, to the financing, development and construction of the first fuel-cell generation system for an industrial facility in California. It is not by accident, but by design, that many of DLF’s partners have been or are currently involved in government and politics at a substantial level. We realized long ago that effectively representing business interests, particularly in California, also requires the know-how, experience, and relationships necessary to get things done with government. The Firm’s track record and business approach has attracted a large, diverse, and growing list of clients. Among the Firm’s clients are national and international corporations, and companies involved in manufacturing, insurance, construction, energy, real estate acquisition and development, health care, pharmaceuticals manufacturing and distribution, metals recycling and processing, transportation, entertainment, broadcasting, financial services, retailing, garment manufacturing, entertainment, food processing and service, agriculture, e-commerce transactions, multi-media, electronics and computer software, as well as numerous public entities at the state and local level.
