Rent Control in San Francisco: The Current Dilemmas / The Future

We are pleased to welcome back San Francisco attorney Steven Adair MacDonald to our Real Estate Roundtable to update us on our city's complex and confounding rent and eviction control law.

Mr. MacDonald’s firm has represented both commercial and residential landlords and tenants for over 35 years. He has settled tenant suits for over one million dollars and tries cases in our courts when they cannot be mediated successfully. He will offer insight into some of the dysfunction rent control creates and make recommendations toward navigating some of the worst effects of it. Please come prepared with questions.

A native of New York, Mr. MacDonald attended Fordham University before his military service. He finished his undergraduate work and obtained his Juris Doctor degree from Golden Gate University.

Building Culture & Empowering Employees in Uncertain Times

The current political climate has inspired business leaders to take a stand for their values and take a stand on issues that directly impact their stakeholders, especially employees. Sustainable businesses are built on values that are integral to their mission and purpose. As business leaders, how do you strike the right balance of imparting those values to an ideologically diverse workforce, while also empowering your employees to live out their own and appropriate values? How do you build a workplace culture that is grounded in your mission and core values? What practical strategies can you implement as business leaders to encourage mission-based engagement outside of the office in your workforce? 

Join Teresa Pahl (Partner, Hanson Bridgett) for a lively discussion with Kat Taylor (Founder & CEO, Beneficial State Bank) as they explore these questions and more.
