Our wealth of knowledge and expertise ‎permitting projects gives us unique insights into the expectations and sensitivities of local, state, and federal ‎officials, and an ability to strategically navigate the complex regulatory and approval process. When permits are necessary, our attorneys have a proven track ‎record of securing the necessary approvals critical to the economic success of a project, including ‎land use permits, as well as major environmental, coastal, and energy approvals. We leverage our longstanding relationships with local, state, and federal agencies to identify and resolve the inevitable issues that arise during the development process.
