Greenberg Traurig, LLP

Praised for its depth of ‘knowledge' and 'good judgment', Greenberg Traurig LLP's real estate development and land use team advises owners, developers, and businesses on obtaining entitlements, zoning and building permits. The practice is led by Miami's Iris Escarra, who is experienced in the due diligence process of assessing a property's development potential and obtaining all the state and local entitlements required. She is joined by fellow practice co-heads, New York's Jay Segal and Deirdre Carson who appear before counsels, boards and commissions to secure approvals on behalf of their clients. Miami's Brian Dombrowski is a 'go-to' for advice on environmental and associated compliance. Los Angeles and Denver-based Brady McShane, Miami's Carlos Lago and New York's Nick Hockens are additional key contacts for issues related to re-zonings, special permits, variances, designations, and litigation.
