WAYNE INTERACTS WITH LEADERS ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM

          Wayne offers a unique blend of expertise to navigate issues that arise in the public sector or when firms or individuals interact with government entities. In his legal practice, he represented clients in complex land use, permitting, entitlements, and the issuance of contracts from cities and counties.

         He began his career as campaign manager for two Los Angeles City Councilmembers, Zev Yaroslavsky and Bob Ronka. He served as a top aide and Chief of Staff for both Council members and remained a close advisor throughout Zev’s legendary forty-year career on the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors.

        Wayne appreciates the public perspective; his first job post-college was at Los Angeles City Hall. He later served on two government commissions and boards, including the board that oversaw the Los Angeles Convention Center, where Wayne served for eighteen years, including two stints as President. The Boundary Adjustment Board held hearings and recommended boundary district lines to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors following the census and in compliance with the Federal Voting Rights Act.
