Our attorneys work with clients to obtain approvals and address zoning and land use issues through every stage of a development project. Our hands-on approach helps keep projects on schedule. 


We represent commercial, industrial, and residential developers; hospitals and other health care institutions; colleges and universities; and pharmaceutical, telecommunications, industrial, and outdoor advertising companies. When necessary, our attorneys collaborate with the firm's construction, eminent domain, water and environmental law, taxation, and real estate finance attorneys. 

We counsel clients in:

  • Accessibility issues
  • Administrative proceedings
  • Civil rights litigation
  • Community advocacy
  • Defense of permits
  • Development
  • Enforcement actions
  • Environmental regulation
  • Fair housing issues
  • Housing
  • Land development
  • Master planning
  • Military base re-use and redevelopment
  • Permitting coordination
  • Zoning and subdivision

As community leaders and attorneys, our team has built rapport with government agencies, civic groups, and neighborhood associations. Many of our lawyers are active in community development groups, historical commissions, planning commissions, and zoning boards. We have written major urban zoning and planning ordinances and have appeared before government commissions nationwide.
