Foster Swift's experienced real estate development attorneys can help clients take their proposed developments from land acquisition to end financing, or assist with any stage of the development process in between. Our team approach puts the best attorney for the job at hand available to the clients for each phase of their development project.

Our lawyers can assist clients with development, acquisition and assemblage of parcels, zoning and land use, engineering and architectural contracts, construction and utility contracts, the environmental issues including flood plain, wetland and brown field concerns, easements and restriction. Our experience representing townships in development matters in litigation allows us to provide developers with knowledgeable advice needed to get projects approved.
