Shareholder Diane De Felice, a member of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck’s Los Angeles office in the Natural Resources Department, has been recognized by the Los Angeles Times as one of its 2023 Inspirational Women Award finalists. The publication honored accomplished female leaders who have demonstrated noteworthy success and accomplishments during the last 24 months, including community service and philanthropic work.
De Felice advises developers, large landowners, investors, public agencies and other private sector entities on the complexities of land use, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Subdivision Map Act. De Felice applies her comprehensive knowledge of administrative processes to streamline complicated land use, planning and environmental approvals to enable clients projects to break ground as early as possible. Examples of recent work include entitlements and litigation related to housing development, including affordable and transitional housing to address homelessness, as well as high-profile infrastructure projects, including large-scale water storage projects.
Honorees and finalists were recognized at the third annual Inspirational Women Forum and Leadership Awards on Nov. 7.
