News & Publications
Cox Castle is a key contributor in Project Recovery: Rebuilding Los Angeles After the January 2025 Wildfires, a collaborative, living document designed to provide up-to-date guidance on the complex and evolving process of rebuilding Los Angeles following the January 2025 wildfires – guidance that was a feature highlight in a recent LA Times article.
As part of this initiative spearheaded by ULI Los Angeles, the UCLA Ziman Center, and the USC Lusk Center, our team is actively contributing legal and strategic insights to help shape policies, streamline recovery efforts, and support affected communities.
Our involvement includes:
- David Waite, serving on the Organizing and Governance Committee and Team Leader on the ‘Implementing a Building Permit “Self-Certification” Program’ team.
- Preston Brooks, Team Leader on the ‘Hazardous Materials and Debris Management, Removal, and Disposal, and Process for Property Owners’ Safe Return’ team.
- Mitch Menzer, Co-Team Leader on the ‘Rebuilding infrastructure for the Pacific Palisades and Altadena’ team.
