Our HISTORY

OurHistory

Our Founders
Circa 1976
Phil Linscott, Bill Law, and Jack Greenspan

 

Linscott Associates was founded by Phil Linscott in 1966, with the help of his wife Betsey, to focus on traffic and parking issues. We were one of the first independent firms in Southern California (that is, not a local office of a national firm) and remain independent to this day. Jack Greenspan joined the firm later that year, and Bill Law did so in the early 1970s. By then, we were three (namesakes, that is) and the company name was broadened to Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers, a California Corporation, in 1976. Or for short, simply…LLG.

In 1984, Phil retired, and we continued as Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers, but changed our incorporated name to LG2WB Engineers, Inc. to reflect the initials of the remaining and emerging company leadership at the time. This was significant in that the company leaders were grown largely from within, a practice that continues to this day. Bill subsequently retired in the early 1990s as did Jack in 2005. As they did, others emerged to lead the firm, our staff grew to more than fifty, and our offices continued to expand in Pasadena, Irvine and San Diego, while working on a variety of challenging assignments from an enviable client list.

Having achieved our 50th birthday on November 1, 2016, and while looking forward and beyond, we remain an independent firm, led by a Management Committee committed to the core values and integrity of our founders. The men and women of LLG have worked diligently to establish and maintain a reputation for providing quality services that are insightful, accurate, timely and in the traveling public’s best interest. In consultation with the public agencies, owners, developers and other design professionals, we remain committed to the fundamental values of our history while providing exemplary service to our clients.

William (Bill) A. Law
May 3rd, 1921 – August 21st, 2018

LLG Engineers - William (Bill) A. Law

It is with great sadness to inform you that Bill Law passed away on the morning of August 21, 2018. Bill’s daughter, Kathy Steimer, let us know he passed away peacefully and was with family. Our sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with the entire Law family.

Our Legacy

On November 13th, 2016 the LLG family proudly celebrated our 50th anniversary.  The event was held aboard the Hornblower Endless Dreams in Newport Harbor, and featured three of our founders; Betsey Linscott (wife of Phil Linscott), Bill Law and Jack Greenspan.  It is rare for a company to maintain its original private ownership for five decades, and rarer still for the founders to be able to see how their legacy had developed.  This was the first time that Betsey, Bill and Jack have all been together as a group in nearly 30 years, and it afforded our current leadership and staff the pleasure and honor of meeting them to celebrate this incredible milestone as a group.  The cruise provided a picturesque venue for socializing, dining, and viewing an extensive slide show featuring photos of company events and staff members old and new. There were plenty of warm memories and laughs to be had of yesteryear fashions (thank you, 1970’s), and we were blessed with perfect weather for a perfect party.  Enjoy the celebration photos!

“FAIR WINDS & FOLLOWING SEAS”
– LLG’s PAUL WILKINSON IS RETIRING

After a distinguished 42-year career with Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG), Paul Wilkinson recently announced that he is retiring, as of February 16, 2018. He joined LLG in 1976, having worked one year at the County of Los Angeles Road Department. Showing good promise, the following year Jack Greenspan asked him to relocate to Orange County to open an office there to better serve a growing client list in that market. That office grew to become our Corporate Headquarters. As the original “L”,” L”, and the “G” reached their own retirements, Paul represented the second generation of leadership. He was named President in 1991 and served in that capacity for 17 years. When he passed on the reins, he then became Chairman of the Board & CEO, positions he held for the last 10 years.

Paul Wilkinson’s Tribute - Timeline

Paul’s leadership was the most influential in our history. He valued teaching junior staff, challenging them professionally, leading by example, putting clients’ interests first, and ensuring the development of our future generations of leadership. He was the “go to” guy for the many challenging projects in Orange County and elsewhere, and he labored over them for as long as it took to craft thoughtful solutions that served the public and a diverse mix of clients. His handiwork is visible throughout Orange and Los Angeles counties, with projects including:

  • South Coast Plaza and Town Center
  • Segerstrom Center for the Arts
  • Pacific Arts Plaza (Costa Mesa)
  • Valencia Town Center (Santa Clarita)   More Info
  • The Pike (Long Beach)   More Info
  • Orange County School of the Arts (Santa Ana)
  • Samueli Academy (Santa Ana)
  • Christ Cathedral (Garden Grove)
  • Chapman University (Orange)   More Info
  • The Claremont Colleges (including Claremont McKenna College, Claremont Graduate School, Harvey Mudd College, Pomona College, the East Campus Sports Complex, and the Claremont University Consortium)
    More Info

Paul’s leadership extended beyond LLG into the local community. Paul has served as President of South Coast Metro Alliance which unites property owners and business leaders who have a long-term investment in the South Coast Metro community. The Alliance is a dynamic and continually evolving organization that fosters economic growth and development in South Coast Metro, Orange County’s premiere corporate and cultural center.

Paul Wilkinson’s Tribute - Projects

Throughout Paul’s leadership, the current and remaining nine members of the Management Committee have been successfully groomed to carry on the values and 50-plus-year legacy of LLG. Rich Barretto and Keil Maberry will continue to lead the Irvine office. The leadership in the San Diego and Pasadena offices will also remain.

Paul Wilkinson’s Tribute - 42 Years

Paul and his wife, DJ have purchased a home far north of Seattle and near the Canadian border, overlooking Boundary Bay and the Strait of Georgia. They expect to relocate there with Lucy (their Labradoodle) by this summer. While now “boatless near Seattle”, they were huge boating enthusiasts and enjoyed island hopping for more than a dozen years among the San Juan Islands of Washington and the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. Having turned his retirement focus to dry land, Paul will be pursuing his passion for cars and many things Porsche, and expects to explore the many 2-lane rural roads of the region (all at Level of Service A!) in his 911 Cabriolet. He will also be returning to the guitar playing of his youth (prompted by The Beatles 1964 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show) and aspires to be worthy of joining a retiree garage band.

Paul Wilkins aon’s Tribute - Paul & DJ
All of us wish Paul and his wife DJ the very best in their new endeavors, and THANK YOU for four decades of inspiring leadership.

“A Career of Many Firsts” – CLARE LOOK-JAEGER RETIRES FROM LLG

Clare Look-Jaeger, P.E., retired from LLG in March 2022, after a 34-year career with LLG. Her leadership, welcoming attitude, and selflessness are only some of the reasons she is loved. With this, she has been an inspiration for all her colleagues, especially in the Pasadena office.

As the youngest of six children, Clare was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she also attended Marquette University on scholarship. After graduating both as a student-athlete and engineering student in 1988, she and KC married and moved to Southern California where she began her career at LLG Pasadena while continuing with her passion for track and field. Clare competed in the heptathlon and open high jump in the 1992 and 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials. The Pasadena team even got the privilege to witness her compete on the show “American Gladiators” at Universal Studios very early in her career at LLG.

Clare Look-Jaeger

With the help of her determined and competitive nature, Clare made incredible contributions to the Company and took on some of the most challenging and significant projects in the region. Locally to Pasadena, she completed projects including the Pasadena Conference Center, IDS Playhouse Plaza Project & Pedestrian Study, the City Hall Seismic Retrofit Project, numerous specific plan studies, and most recently the City’s new local mobility analysis guidelines. She also completed countless projects in the greater Los Angeles Basin including Westfield Century City New Century Plan Project, Americana at Brand (former Glendale Town Center), USC’s University Gateway Project, NBC/Universal Prior Masterplan and Vision Plan, Universal CityWalk, East Los Angeles College Firestone Education Center Master Plan, Talaria at Burbank Mixed Use Project, USC’s Galen Center Arena and Athletic Pavilion, as well as the USC Health Sciences Campus Master Plan.

Clare Look-Jaeger

Over Clare’s LLG career, she quickly became a strong leader and took on many roles including Managing Principal, Corporate Secretary, and Company President. During one of the most difficult economic periods amid the global financial crisis, Clare remained her hard-working, compassionate self. Not only that, but by the end of her career, she gained many firsts for LLG. Clare became the youngest to retire as well as the first woman to manage an LLG office and to become a President of the Company. She has not only paved the way for women in her field, but she continues to inspire all her colleagues to put their all into what they do.

Clare Look-Jaeger

Clare plans to continue to visit and support the community she’s created in Pasadena as well as her first home of Milwaukee where her family still resides. In addition to Southern California, Clare and KC plan to split time between Hawaii and Wisconsin.

Clare Look-Jaeger

On to the biggest project to date… Life without work!
Here’s to 34 years of leadership.
