Holland & Hart announces that experienced real estate attorney Doug Thornley has rejoined the firm as counsel in its Reno office after serving as Reno’s city manager for four years.
Thornley guides clients through an increasingly complex regulatory environment to facilitate positive outcomes in all phases of real estate development, state and local taxation, and business compliance.
He advises clients on nearly every phase of commercial and residential real estate development, from land use and zoning approvals and reapprovals, to development applications, to master plan amendments.
Thornley’s understanding of government mechanisms and municipal land use laws make him a valuable strategic advisor to clients on real estate and public land matters.
He has litigated disputes before countless administrative and regulatory agencies and state and federal courts, including the Nevada Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court
