Land Use & Development
Edwards Cohen devotes a substantial portion of its practice to assisting clients in securing land use and zoning entitlements for a variety of development projects. Our attorneys possess both the personal relationships and professional expertise to effectively guide our clients through the complex web of federal, state and local land use regulations.
We solve problems. We achieve results. We understand the importance of working closely and cooperatively with governmental agencies to guide and develop solutions to a wide range of land use and development issues. Our counsel extends to all phases of the development process, including planning the project; presenting it to key stakeholders, staff and agencies; and preparing legal records to preserve our clients' position in a court of law, should the need arise.
