Land Use
The attorneys at Filippini Law Firm have experience in all aspects of land use law, including annexations, zoning, subdivisions, development agreements, historic preservation, transportation and utility services, public financing tools, intergovernmental agreements, and public-private partnerships. We utilize our extensive knowledge and experience in local government law to provide special insights for solving land use problems. We also have written extensively and regularly lecture on vexing and cutting-edge land use issues.
On behalf of our governmental clients, we have drafted routine and complex zoning regulations. We have also prepared (and successfully defended) land use regulations affecting uses intertwined with fundamental constitutional rights. For private clients, our land use services range from straightforward zoning approvals for single properties to securing approvals for challenging land uses (like medical marijuana facilities) to navigating the gauntlet of approvals needed for developments of regional impact.
Additionally, our attorneys not only achieve land use results, we make them stick. We regularly defend and prosecute land use disputes for clients, and we have been involved in many of the most significant land use law cases in Illinois over the past 35 years.
Whether at the drafting stage, in the board room, or in the court room, our attorneys have what it takes to help our clients obtain their desired land use objectives.
