We represent municipalities, real estate developers, individual property owners, citizen groups, and civic organizations throughout Connecticut in a broad range of land use, zoning, and environmental matters.
Zabel Schellenberg has significant practical experience with land use issues.
Our team includes lawyers who have served in state and local government, those who have represented a myriad of municipalities and those with an acute familiarity with regional planning organizations and how they interface with both local government and private development.
Our clients benefit greatly from the knowledge and insight our government service provides, and it is this unique perspective that sets us apart from other municipal law firms.
We know how to navigate the complexities of local government precisely because we have served in and represented local governments for so many years.
Our real estate developer clients value our decades of experience representing municipalities throughout Connecticut.
We know what towns are looking for and expecting from developers and can anticipate potential issues, avoid surprises, and guide our clients through the regulatory process.
At Zabel Schellenberg we embrace a collaborative approach, maximizing the practical knowledge and local government experience of each of our seasoned attorneys to serve clients with responsiveness, efficiency, and confidence.
Operating at the intersection of government and business, we deliver the practical wisdom and sound counsel our clients need to succeed.
On behalf of our clients, we appear regularly before state and local regulatory agencies, including planning and zoning commissions, inland wetlands commissions, and zoning boards of appeals.
We litigate land use and environmental matters in court proceedings and are well-known and respected by judges throughout the State of Connecticut.
