Our attorneys represent clients in all legal aspects relating to the use of land, including zoning, condemnation and related litigation. We guide clients through due diligence as well as the land use entitlement process, which can involve negotiating with government officials, applying for and obtaining land use and/or zoning approvals, variances, special permits, subdivision plats, site plan and construction plans. We have established professional and effective relations with city/town staff Planning Commissions, Boards of Adjustment and City/Town Councils.
Beyond performing the basic legal work necessary to structure and close transactions, the Livability Law practice offers additional value by assisting clients in identifying potential opportunities, problems and available solutions. We do not just “lawyer” or “paper” a deal. As a rule, our clients rely on us to provide advice and counsel beyond the scope of conventional legal matters, a personalized and custom approach.
