What are the responsibilities and job description for the Land Use Attorney position at Williams Parker?
Williams Parker, the region’s largest and oldest law firm, is seeking a talented Land Use Attorney to help us serve our growing client base and to help us accelerate that growth. Candidates must have substantial experience and demonstrable success in all aspects of land use law, including comprehensive plans, zoning, subdivision regulations and related environmental issues. Whether you are already licensed to practice law in Florida - or planning to relocate and willing to sit for The Florida Bar in the near future - you are encouraged to apply.
Williams Parker has been an active participant in and contributor to the area’s growth since our formation in 1925. Much of our land use, development, and local government practice’s success is attributable to our extensive network of personal and professional relationships. Clients seek us because they know we understand the community and how things work at the local level.
Our practitioners represent public and private (for-profit and not-for-profit) sector clients before municipal and county boards and commissions on a variety of zoning, permitting, and land use issues, and in administrative proceedings and hearings before other governmental bodies. Besides our work representing private interests obtaining governmental approvals and permits, we are also regularly engaged to advise local governmental entities on issues unrelated to land use.
Our Land Use attorneys typically work with our Real Estate attorneys on development projects. Representation also includes meeting all environmental, public participation, and legal prerequisites for comprehensive plan amendments, zoning amendments and interpretation, land division, public improvement requirements, and environmental reviews.
