Real Estate Lawyers for Zoning, Planning and Land Use
In Pennsylvania and elsewhere throughout the United States, property is subject to extensive regulations. From the types of activities that are acceptable, to the height of the building or the amount of parking required, regulations govern all aspects of zoning, planning and land use.
In order to use these regulations to your advantage, it is critical to partner with an experienced attorney — a real estate lawyer with in-depth knowledge of all federal, state or local government laws that may affect you.
At Rosenn, Jenkins & Greenwald LLP, we use our in-depth knowledge to help our clients achieve the best possible results in land use matters. Our work includes obtaining land development and use approvals from a municipal planner and appearing on behalf of private, public and non-profit entities before municipal zoning and planning boards.

Oil and Gas Law
The Marcellus Shale formation has created new opportunities for natural gas exploration and energy development throughout northern and western Pennsylvania. With energy development has come new found wealth for many individuals and expansion opportunities for businesses. However, this development is not without problems. The drilling and extraction process for natural gas contained in the Marcellus Shale beds poses many environmental, engineering and financial concerns.
