Construction & Entitlement

Managing Permitting, Approvals, and Compliance

Construction and land use projects often involve multiple layers of regulation, contracts, and approvals. Having the right legal guidance helps avoid delays, resolve disputes, and move your project forward with confidence.

At Hoffman | Forde, we represent owners, developers, general contractors, and subcontractors in both public and private construction projects. Our attorneys also advise on land use regulations and assist in securing the permits and approvals needed at the local, state, and federal levels.

Our services include:

  • Drafting and reviewing construction contracts
  • Advising on land use regulations and zoning matters
  • Obtaining permits and approvals for development projects

We help clients anticipate challenges, address regulatory requirements, and protect their interests throughout every stage of construction and entitlement.

What Our
Clients Say

I personally worked with Mr. Hoffman who provided me with prompt, detailed and sound legal advice. I was in a situation where the seller of my home cut corners and he helped me get out of paying an arm and a leg by using his expertise to demonstrate why the seller was responsible. Don’t look any further for your legal needs.

Patrick W.

Sky and Dan are great to deal with on matters of real estate and business. Cogent, concise, and pragmatic legal advice. I feel very well represented and have been treated fairly when it comes to their fee schedule. I am very selective when it comes to giving referrals and Hoffman | Forde have never dropped the ball when I have sent them one.

Patrick C.

Schuyler and his whole team of associates are the best! They have provided valuable and reliable information in helping me from my business entity. They are very trustworthy, and helped save me a lot of time and money.

Tim S.
