Land Use and Zoning Attorneys

Specializing in legal matters related to land use regulations, zoning laws, and urban planning.

Overcoming land use and zoning issues can be a deceptively informal process. Buckingham’s team of experienced Land Use and Zoning lawyers help clients navigate system intricacies, take proactive steps to avoid hiccups, and offer guidance until projects are complete. We’re able to successfully accomplish this by utilizing a hybrid approach combining our experience in construction, government, transactional leasing, enforcement litigation, real estate litigation, and tax matters. Our land use and zoning attorneys build relationships with clients and entities with which we work, including governmental entities. Due to these strong relationships and our experience in the field, we are often called upon by outside agencies to form a team of zoning and land use experts. We use these connections and knowledge to vigorously advocate for our clients throughout the courts, including the Supreme Court of Ohio. We will advocate on your behalf with our unique experience in all three governmental areas of board zoning administration, state
legislation, and trustees/courts.

It is this collaborative, experienced approach that will give you the peace of mind knowing you
are in good hands.
