RRHC lawyers are veterans when it comes to analyzing zoning impacts and environmental regulations; leading due diligence investigations, obtaining subdivision, land development, conditional use, special exception and variance approvals; as well as obtaining rezonings and zoning text amendments. We have worked with virtually every federal, state and local regulatory agency in the region, in order to obtain permits and approvals for our clients.
Our far-reaching practice combines a solid foundation of all aspects of land use and zoning with a thorough understanding of the challenges our clients are certain to face today. We help navigate stringent environmental controls, stay up-to-date on ever-changing land use laws and the latest judicial decisions, and are dedicated to identifying ways that will save time and expense. But we don’t do it alone; we work closely with our clients to help them understand and prepare for the issues we’ll face together.
Our legal team knows that litigation is not, and should not, be your first option when it comes to resolving land use and zoning issues. That’s why our approach to any development project begins with a thorough assessment of all the relevant factors that may influence the project. We then help identify the options that offer our clients the least amount of potential conflict and the most promising outcome.
RRHC’s reputation as a regional leader in land use and zoning law is based on our enviable track record, our talented attorneys, and our commitment to open and constant client communication. Our firm has been recognized as a “Top Firm in Chester County” for Redevelopment.
