Land Use
Permitting & Development
Stackpole & French employs a diverse group of licensed attorneys and qualified support staff who can assist in all aspects of land use permitting and project formation needs. From small subdivisions to larger planned unit developments, we are experienced in advising clients with both the local and state permitting processes. Our number one goal is to put our clients in the best position possible to obtain needed permitting approvals. As part of our approach, we often work closely with our client’s engineering team to resolve any legal issues that may arise during the various permitting and design stages. Whether a project is in front of a local Development Review Board, or requires state permitting such as Act 250, we offer application support, anticipate issues, and provide legal guidance throughout a project’s progression.
Stackpole & French is experienced in drafting community formation documents such as declarations, covenants, homeowners’ association formations, shared maintenance agreements, and other legal agreements that a project may require. With our wide range of services and competent staff, we provide guidance from inception to completion allowing for smooth advancement through each stage of the project.
Additionally, as a full-service law firm, we are well-equipped to assist our clients with land development disputes, appeals, and representation in Environmental Court proceedings.
