large-scale redevelopment projects, airport and public transit expansions, and other major public and private facilities.
Our expertise encompasses all facets of the entitlement, regulatory compliance, development, and construction process, including
land use and subdivision approvals, development agreements and vested rights structuring, environmental impact assessments,
endangered species and wetlands compliance, and redevelopment issues.
Our development and construction practice also encompasses the negotiation and documentation of a substantial number of design

and a variety of industry trades.
