Withey Morris, an Arizona land use law firm, promoted Adam Baugh from partner to owner. Baugh joined Withey Morris in 2007 as an associate attorney.
His specialties include working with cities and neighborhoods on behalf of development clients to obtain zoning and land use entitlements, business approvals and liquor licenses. Baugh also has unique experience working with infill development projects across the Valley.
“I love being able to propel seemingly impossible projects forward to help our clients build a successful development, community, and city. Relationships are key to that. It’s those relationships that help us solve unique development challenges with neighbors and city hall.”
His success has helped clients obtain rezone approvals, stipulation changes, variances, use permits, site plan approvals and plats. Beyond land use entitlements, Baugh works on real estate matters such as due diligence, development agreements and code enforcement violations.
“Adam possesses specialized knowledge that continues to differentiate Withey Morris and we’re excited about his new ownership role,” said Jason Morris, founding partner and owner. “He’s a passionate rising star with a fresh, creative outlook. As the youngest owner, he provides diversity in thought that allows us to work seamlessly together.”
Baugh earned his B.A. in International Studies in 2002 from Brigham Young University and his J.D. from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law in 2006.
Baugh is actively involved in his community, serving on a variety of boards and committees including the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Maricopa County Development Task Force, Gilbert CAN (Community Action Network), a local non-profit service organization, and Gilbert Leadership Class XX. As a father of five young children, he also is a Boy Scouts leader and coaches soccer and other youth recreational leagues.
