Randall (Randy) brings his experience as a public school teacher and district administrator, as well as his 15 years of experience as a transactional and litigation attorney, to his representation of community college and K-12 districts. 

Randy devotes a significant part of his practice to handling a broad spectrum of construction and facilities matters including drafting and negotiating public works design and construction contracts.  Further, Randy is experienced in handling all aspects of trial court and appellate litigation.

Prior to joining LCW, Randy most recently worked for a major construction law firm in the private sector, but was eager to return to serving public entities. Randy has served as Deputy City Attorney with the City and County of San Francisco, in its construction group, where he advised department heads, contracts officers, and members of the Board of Supervisors and Board of Education of the San Francisco Unified School District.  While there, he was instrumental in several design-build contracts for SFUSD and the City including the new main library at Civic Center, the City Hall seismic and historic renovation, and construction of the San Francisco Airport's new international terminal. 

While with the City and County of San Francisco, Randy was awarded a Certificate of Honor by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for his outstanding service.  He was also awarded a Certificate of Recognition by the California State Senate for dedicated public service as a Deputy City Attorney for the City and County of San Francisco.

Prior to joining the City Attorney, Randy represented school districts throughout the state in construction and facilities matters while working with a leading education law firm.  His passion for public education also led him to serve as the Executive Director and CEO of U.C. Berkeley's Alumni Association, where he oversaw a multi-million dollar budget, grew revenue and membership, and led the modernization of the Association's practices in numerous areas.

Representative Matters

Litigation

  • Mosley v. West Contra Costa Unified School District (2011) -

    Petitioner was a vice principal.  The school district (District) served a timely notice pursuant to Ed. Code § 44951 on March 11 advising Petitioner she may be reassigned to a non-administrator position for the following year.  In May, the District sent Petitioner a letter in error stating that her assignment for the upcoming year would be as a vice principal.  The Superintendent wrote to Petitioner in June informing her that the May assignment letter had been sent in error and the Board had not approved her assignment as an administrator.  The Board subsequently assigned Petitioner to a counseling position.  Petitioner filed a writ challenging the District's action. 

    The court held that the May assignment letter did not rescind the March notice, that Mosley remained on notice of potential reassignment, and the district properly exercised its authority to assign Mosley to a counseling position.
