FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[Kimberton, PA] — January 12, 2026 — ALL4 LLC (ALL4), a leader in environmental, health, safety, sustainability, and digital consulting services, and portfolio company of Levine Leichtman Capital Partners (LLCP), today announced the acquisition of VCS Environmental (VCS), a full-service consulting team located in San Juan Capistrano, CA. VCS specializes in wetlands and endangered species regulatory permitting, biological studies, cultural resource services, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) / National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) preparation.
The VCS team brings a diverse range of qualifications with decades of experience to provide expert solutions to every project, whether related to regulatory permitting, biological, cultural services or CEQA/NEPA. VCS is led by CEO Julie Beeman with close to 40 years of experience working with public agencies and private firms to assist them in meeting their development project goals.
“We are thrilled to expand our presence in California and to bring on new technical capabilities. Julie and the VCS team deliver thought leadership and strategic permitting and analysis capabilities that align with our long-term strategic plan,” said Bill Straub, CEO of ALL4.
By combining VCS’s regional leadership and permitting depth with ALL4’s national platform and technical resources, the firms are well positioned to deliver integrated, end-to-end environmental solutions across a broader range of markets.
“We are very excited to join ALL4 to provide expanded services to our respective clients and to enhance career growth opportunities for our team. The VCS team brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise in raw land and redevelopment including environmental analysis and regulatory permitting for new residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional projects as well as infrastructure,” said Julie Beeman, CEO of VCS Environmental.
Through this acquisition, ALL4 will broaden its environmental planning, permitting, and cultural resource capabilities while VCS gains access to ALL4’s national platform and expanded environmental, health, safety, and digital services. VCS will continue to serve its existing clients while integrating with ALL4’s broader network of technical experts.
“At a time when capital project execution in fast-growing markets, including power and data centers, demands integrated expertise, this partnership immediately benefits our clients by adding in-house wetlands, endangered species, biological, cultural, and CEQA/NEPA study and permitting capabilities to our existing EHS services,” said Ali Farnoud, Chief Strategy Officer of ALL4.
This marks ALL4’s seventh acquisition and represents ALL4’s commitment to providing a comprehensive menu of strategic solutions to the global regulated community.
