At Hill Wallack LLP, our Land Use Team knows that the best approach for clients is usually resolving matters amicably, without the need to resort to the courts. However, we also know that there is sometimes no other choice but to turn to the courts for relief.
Our Land Use Team has long enjoyed a reputation for aggressively litigating to enforce our clients’ rights under the laws, in our state and federal trial courts and appellate courts alike. Our attorneys have devoted most of their efforts, throughout their collective decades of experience, to representing private sector clients in judicial disputes arising from the land development permitting process at the local, state and federal levels.
Representative Matters
Our Land Use Litigation Team has litigated matters that include:
- Actions contesting decisions rendered by planning boards and zoning boards
- "Builder’s remedy"/affordable housing suits under the
Mount Laurel doctrine
- Civil rights issues arising from land development efforts, including "takings" claims
- Environmental and infrastructure issues
- Permitting and zoning challenges
- Litigation challenging development exactions
- Redevelopment disputes
- Tax appeals
Our attorneys have represented clients both large and small in many leading land use cases. Examples of our
endeavors include:
- We serve as Land Use Counsel to the New Jersey Builders Association, representing the NJBA in a variety of concerns to the industry, including a major redevelopment case challenging the constitutionality of New Jersey’s redevelopment statute
- We represented the plaintiffs in the successful
Mount Laurel land mark affordable housing litigation challenging exclusionary zoning
Our team approach enables us to provide our clients with a breadth of experience, while delivering responsive,
efficient representation aimed at convincing the courts to secure the rights that the government denies all too frequently in today’s anti-growth political climate.
