Land Use and Real Estate Law
We assist clients across the state as they acquire, entitle, sell, manage and defend the present and future value of their land. From waterfront properties to inland ranches, from developed parcels to raw land, we know Florida real estate and the governments and agencies who regulate it. We can assist you with all aspects of your real estate transactions from acquisition and permitting to development and ultimate sale. We anticipate potential issues and tailor resolutions to our clients’ needs to ensure that good projects move smoothly through the process. We litigate real estate and land use development issues in all administrative and judicial forums. We also represent clients on land use and real estate issues before the Florida Legislature.
