Land Use & Zoning

Experienced Land Use Attorneys Serving Clients in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York

Here at Griffin Alexander, P.C., our experienced Land Use attorneys represent a range of clients — developers, property owners, non-profits, community associations, tenants, businesses (service and industrial), and many others — in various land use matters, including Planning Board and Zoning Board approvals.

Our real estate law firm assists communities and developers in the preparation of applications before Planning and Zoning Boards, and routinely appears as counsel for communities applying for preliminary and final site plan approval, final, preliminary and major subdivisions, and variances.

We also assist in the drafting or review of Developer Agreements, Easement Agreements, and Maintenance Agreements.  This comprehensive legal representation generally continues all the way through to the project’s completion.  When necessary, our firm can appeal, litigate, and otherwise challenge adverse land use decisions made local government officials (i.e., denials of land use applications).

End-to-End Coordination

 At Griffin Alexander, P.C., our attorneys provide transactional, advisory, and litigation-related assistance.  We coordinate with colleagues to draft, execute, and evaluate contracts pertaining to land use, assist and advise clients on regulatory matters and the submission/approval process (with regard to approvals, permitting, zoning, etc.) and when circumstances require, litigate disputes on our client’s behalf.

 The breadth of our experience allows us to effectively navigate applications, disputes, or litigation from beginning-to-end, and to integrate the insights that we gain from each aspect of representation.  For example, we understand the circumstances that are likely to give rise to a dispute over land use and are often able to advise clients and structure a transactional deal so as to minimize the risk of a dispute at a later date.
