Land Use and Zoning Law
Shannon & Wright has unparalleled expertise in the area of land use and zoning law. The firm is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, a city known for its role in American history. Land use and zoning law are very complicated in this area as there are many competing interests. Some want the land to be developed and some want the land and buildings to be preserved. All of this is further complicated by the Potomac River and complex water and flood issues that are present in the area. Shannon & Wright navigate these difficult areas - always looking out for the best interests of their clients.
