The TOK land use and environmental law practice focuses on helping clients navigate the complex web of regulations facing landowners and developers. We work with developers, municipalities, businesses, and property owners to secure necessary permits and approvals for construction projects, zoning changes, subdivisions, and commercial developments. Guiding clients through environmental impact assessments, disputes over property rights and land use restrictions, and ensuring compliance with local zoning ordinances, state environmental laws, and federal regulations, we seek to avoid issues before they become problems. The practice often involves representing clients before planning commissions, zoning boards, and regulatory agencies to obtain approvals for everything from residential subdivisions to large-scale industrial projects.
That does not mean small projects or individual landowners are left out. Our practice encompasses projects and problems of all sizes and shapes, helping large businesses and mom-and-pops that need to understand the maze of land use regulations.
The firm assists clients with environmental and purchase/sale due diligence during real estate transactions, including negotiating agreements where required. Whether defending against enforcement actions by regulatory agencies or pursuing claims for environmental damage, we can serve as essential advocates for clients operating in heavily regulated industries where environmental and land use considerations impact business operations and development opportunities.
