Real Estate and Zoning
DeFur Voran lawyers have been serving the diverse and complex legal needs of the real estate community for many years through its inevitable economic cycles and constant regulatory changes. Our clients have continued to rely on us for our ability to effectively negotiate the nuances of any real estate transaction and to “close the deal”. We have a depth of experience in our real estate department that enables us to carefully and efficiently serve the needs and interests of our clients.
Interpersonal skills and knowledge of Indiana, county and municipal laws are critical to success when guiding our clients through the approval and regulatory maze of the real estate market. We regularly appear before planning and zoning boards, as well as other administrative bodies and agencies.
The real estate capabilities of our firm span many departments. Clients with real estate needs are able to draw from our firm's experience in the legal areas of commercial and residential real estate, land use planning, environmental regulation, redevelopment, eminent domain, historic preservation, development financing and tax incentives, business formation counseling and estate planning.
