Amarveer is a land use and environmental associate in the Century City office who helps clients obtain and defend entitlements for commercial real estate projects throughout California, including multifamily, hospitality, office, mixed-use, and last mile distribution centers. His practice covers the full development cycle, counseling clients on pre-acquisition due diligence, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance, natural resources issues arising under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the federal and state Endangered Species Acts, and the complex regulations covering development projects within California’s coastal zone, along with a range of other land use matters.
Amarveer is also adept at navigating California state and local housing laws, such as the Density Bonus Law, Housing Accountability Act, and Housing Crisis Act, helping clients bring their residential projects to approval in a cost-effective manner.
Amarveer’s background as federal litigator aids in his ability to anticipate risks and mitigate potential conflicts in the early stages of the development process. Before joining Allen Matkins, Amarveer defended the United States in NEPA, Clean Water Act, NHPA, Endangered Species Act, and other civil cases during his time as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Central District of California and as a Trial Attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice Environmental and Natural Resources Division.
While in law school, Amarveer served as a summer law clerk for the Natural Resources Defense Council and externed for the Honorable Joseph A. Brandolino and Gregory A. Dohi of the Los Angeles Superior Court.
