Lawyer Rankings
United States > Real estate > Land use/zoning
(Leading partners)DLA Piper LLP (US)‘s land use, zoning and government relations team provides ‘the highest quality service’ to clients including real estate developers, owners, investors, institutions, and non-profits. The practice is led by Chicago’s Richard Klawiter, who represents developers and investors in securing entitlements for urban and suburban projects; Los Angeles’ Jerold Neuman, who advises individuals and companies on obtaining local government licenses and permits; and Reston’s Antonio Calabrese, who has obtained entitlements for some of Northern Virginia’s largest projects. Los Angeles-based Kyndra Joy Casper is knowledgeable regarding environmental compliance issues involved in developing land. The ‘extremely professional’ and Reston-based Brian Winterhalter often assists clients in obtaining the necessary endorsements and approvals required for horizontal and vertical mixed-use projects. Chicago’s Katherine Jahnke Dale recently represented Northwestern University in replacing an almost century-old football stadium with a new version incorporating features and amenities that are currently lacking.
