Zoning and Land Use

Massachusetts Land Use Lawyer

Boston Zoning Disputes Attorneys

The zoning and land use attorneys at Gregg, Hunt, Ahern & Embry assist clients with all types of zoning and land use matters. Obtaining zoning approval and necessary permits in a timely manner often represents the difference between a successful project and one that drags on and results in substantial losses. This can be true for institutional, residential and corporate projects and requires a knowledgeable and experienced zoning lawyer to serve as a guide and counsellor through the process.

A Legal Practice Informed by Attorneys’ Knowledge of Real Estate

Our Cambridge attorneys know the issues associated with land use and permitting in Massachusetts. As a law firm with a robust real estate law practice, we handle such matters daily, drafting permit applications, filing variance petitions and appearing at zoning board of appeals and conservation commission hearings to argue clients’ cases. When a problem arises, our litigation department takes the case to the agency or municipality, seeking to protect our clients’ interests through aggressive advocacy in court or through alternative dispute resolution.
