Land Use / Real Estate

Our team of experienced attorneys have worked in both the private and public real estate sector, making them uniquely qualified to provide the most effective service in the areas of land use and real estate.  We offer counseling and advisory services to assist our clients in successfully navigating the intricate process of developing property with a deep understanding of the complexities which often arise. 

With decades of combined experience inside government, we are intimately familiar with government contracting, land use entitlement and legislative decision-making processes.  We work with clients to support their goals in dealing with government agencies, whether it be to obtain entitlements, structure joint projects or resolve disputes.  Our services span all aspects and stages of the land use entitlement process including general and community plan amendments, zoning, development agreements, conditional use and discretionary development permits, and government agency interfacing and legislative advocacy.  We provide guidance in securing permits and other approvals from numerous public agencies including local municipalities, counties, regional decision making bodies, as well as state and federal agencies. 

Additionally, our attorneys bring practical industry experience from the private real estate field, giving them unique insight into the business goals and objectives of their clients as they assist with transactions including purchases and sales, leases, and development.
