Adams Broadwell Joseph & Cardozo is a law firm providing a unique combination of experience in environmental, natural resources, climate change, energy, utility, land use, local government, building and construction and labor law. Over the last forty years, the firm has developed a reputation for providing its clients with the highest quality legal representation and advocacy. With offices in South San Francisco and Sacramento, ABJC represents labor unions, trade associations, public agencies, environmental, consumer and community groups and other public interest organizations throughout California and the western states.

The firm’s practice has been dedicated to the principle that it is not necessary to choose between good jobs and a healthy environment. ABJC pioneered the representation of workers and labor organizations in the enforcement of public health and safety laws, and in the environmental review of projects with significant environmental, worker and community impacts. The firm has also played a leading role in advancing California’s transition to a new green economy by advocating for energy and climate policies that dramatically reduce GHG emissions while at the same time creating high-quality union jobs. ABJC’s work has established a blue-green alliance in California that has been instrumental in supporting cutting-edge policies to confront the dual crises of climate change and economic inequality.

Since its founding in 1980 by two former Legal Aid attorneys, Tom Adams and Ann Broadwell, ABJC has been known for its ability to fashion innovative and effective approaches to resolving disputes and furthering the interests of its labor union and public interest clients. The firm has developed a remarkable track record of success in advocating for workers, working families, sustainable communities and a green economic future.
