Real Estate and Land Use

The practice of real estate, land use, and regulatory law requires an understanding of the legal requirements for property transfers, land development and division, government compliance and permitting, condemnations, water and natural resource law, and environmental compliance and remediation. We have broad experience and success in all of these areas.

Fundamental to a successful land use practice is an intimate understanding of the political process. Our land use attorneys regularly attend local government and board meetings. Through civic involvement and through the building of respectful professional relationships with government officials, we have developed the knowledge and insight necessary to impart the highest quality legal advice.

The representation of municipal and commercial clients requires an understanding and knowledge of land use, shorelines regulations, water law, the State Environmental Policy Act, the Shorelines Management Act, and other applicable state and federal statutes. Land use concerns and environmental permit processing timelines must be considered in all transactions. Our firm’s land use group consists of attorneys who are experienced at practicing before the state and local boards, commissions, and agencies that enforce these laws and regulations.
