Changing Course: Susan Bloch '95 Featured
Susan Bloch '95 was featured in an article in The Recorder on Lawyers with prior careers before law school. Bloch was the first in her family to become a professional, and she said in the article that she felt intimidated by the notion of going to law school. Prior to becoming a lawyer, Bloch worked as a program manager with the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency and as a consultant to the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corp. She says it was the perfect foundation for her real estate legal practice. Now the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency, her former employer, is a client.
Bloch, who joined the law firm of Meyers, Nave as an associate in 2002 and recently became chief of her group after a year as interim head, specializes in redevelopment and real estate matters. She represents public agencies and nonprofit developers in transactions involving the acquisition, development, financing, leasing and sale of residential, commercial, and industrial properties, the development and implementation of affordable housing policies and programs, the adoption, amendment and implementation of redevelopment plans, and the formation and operation of nonprofit organizations. She has negotiated and drafted real estate acquisition, development, disposition, financing, and leasing documents for redevelopment agencies, municipalities, and other public entities, including Placer County Redevelopment Agency, Sacramento Regional Transit District, East Bay Regional Parks District, the City of Rancho Cordova, the City of Millbrae Redevelopment Agency, the City of Dublin, the City of Milpitas, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of South San Francisco, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Leandro and the Petaluma Community Development Commission. She has experience with projects developed with conventional financing, as well as with tax-exempt bonds and low-income housing tax credits.
