Saul Ewing, LLP

Kent-Smith Comments on Revised Southampton Land Proposal
Henry L. Kent-Smith, a Partner in the Real Estate Department, was quoted in this article about his client, Maryland developer Kennard Warfield. Last month, Mr. Kent-Smith presented to the Southampton Township Committee Mr. Warfield's revised proposal to build an age-restricted and continuing-care retirement community. Mr. Warfield's original plan in 2005 was to build an 800-unit development, but the revised proposal significantly reduced the number of units.

Mr. Kent-Smith said the revised proposal calls for nearly 400 residential units, as well as a 99-bed, full-care medical facility and 60 assisted-living beds. Plans for a 40,000-square-foot grocery store, a bank and an 18-hole golf course and club house will remain in the new proposal, he said.

"This is a $3 million-plus (tax) ratable and is something that should be implemented into the long-range plan for the community," Mr. Kent-Smith said. "It's comparable to what they already have in LeisureTowne and with what Pulte is building. This can only benefit the community."

Mr. Kent-Smith also addressed the Committee's concerns about wastewater management and traffic. He explained the two options for wastewater management, and said that a full traffic analysis "demonstrates that (the development) would not cause traffic problems." He also said Mr. Warfield is considering a trolley system to transport residents between LeisureTowne, the Pulte development and the Warfield development.

Orrick LLP

Orrick Lawyer Clarifies Scope of Trademarks
A resident of Orange County, CA has received and applied for trademarks on community names, spurring confusion among local business owners and homeowners' association members about whether or not they have permission to use community names and symbols that have been used for years.

According to Orange County intellectual property of counsel Sam Stone, if the name of a place is used in a trademark, the owner of the trademark cannot prevent others from using that name in reference to the geographical location. "You can file for registration after you start using a trademark or ahead of time based on a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce," said Stone.

Foley & Mansfield, LLP

National Law Firm Foley & Mansfield Expands West Coast
The national litigation firm of Foley & Mansfield is expanding its presence in the San Francisco region with the addition of partners Douglas G. Wah and J. Scott Wood as well as 10 associates from the Emeryville firm of Bishop Barry Howe Haney & Ryder. They will all join the firm as of today.

To accommodate this significant growth, the firm is also moving from its current office location in Walnut Creek to Oakland City Center. The new lease in the Oakland City Center is for 24,000 sq ft while the firm’s former space was approximately 7,000 sq ft. Current Foley & Mansfield partners Lori Cataldo and Eric Sun as well as the rest of the employees from Foley & Mansfield’s Walnut Creek office will also relocate to 1111 Broadway, 10th Floor, Oakland, CA 94607 in the Oakland City Center effective April 1, 2007.

The lease was turned around very quickly. In February the firm began looking at space and the lease was signed on March 1. The firm has been working diligently to make this transition seamless. “Our goal is to be a significant national player so acting quickly to expand and grow will not be unusual in our future. We have to get good at merging cultures and integrating the best practices which will strengthen our whole firm,” states Gary Sharp, one of the partners who originally helped to open the San Francisco Foley & Mansfield office in 2001. Sharp is currently the managing partner of the firm’s Detroit office and was instrumental in this West Coast expansion.
