Public–Private Partnerships for Sports Stadiums, Entertainment Venues & Districts and Arts & Cultural Infrastructure.

Redwood serves as a trusted full-service legal partner for California cities, counties, public agencies, and private partners through the legal, political, and financial complexities of stadium, arena, and entertainment venue / district development. From initial municipal strategy to public negotiation, construction contracts, public finance, land use approvals, CEQA compliance, and long-term operational agreements, we advise across the full development lifecycle. Having advised both public agencies and private stakeholders on some of California's most high-profile sports and entertainment infrastructure projects, we understand both sides of the negotiating table. Our Team’s track record has established Redwood as the premier legal strategists who can bring a practical, results-oriented approach to transactions in highly visible and contested landscapes.

Redwood also advises public agencies on the full legal landscape of arts and cultural programming. Our work includes licensing and facility use contracts, lease agreements for public art studios, public art installations, traveling exhibition finance structures, cultural district designation and governance, and creative economy grants and incentive programs, along with the range of legal issues that arise when government and creative industries intersect. This practice reflects our firm's broader commitment to the communities we serve. Arts and culture are essential to healthy, thriving counties, cities, and towns, and Redwood is proud to help public agencies invest in them.
