Overview

Robinson Bradshaw's land use and zoning practice unites attorneys in the firm with broad experience in transactions, governmental approvals and litigation related to the use of real property.

Our primary areas of emphasis are:

Zoning and Entitlements

We have represented clients in obtaining zoning approvals and entitlements for a wide range of projects, including large shopping centers, mixed-use projects and residential developments. Our litigators have represented parties in zoning disputes and litigation, some resulting in reported decisions. Clients benefit from our excellent relationships with planning departments and elected officials in the Charlotte metropolitan area and the upstate portion of South Carolina.

Robinson Bradshaw has represented clients in negotiating tax incentive and similar agreements for relocations, developments and improvements related to corporate office, retail, mixed-use and industrial projects in North Carolina, South Carolina and other states. We maintain current, detailed information regarding incentive programs in the Carolinas, and we assist clients in comparing and negotiating incentive packages and agreements.

Brownfields and Wetlands

In conjunction with our firm’s Environmental Practice Group, we represent clients in environmental land use development issues, including Brownfields Agreements for properties affected by environmental problems and wetlands permits and certifications for sites containing wetlands.
