Development of real estate often involves competing interests between developers, government, environmental groups and neighborhood organizations.
The attorneys of Seiller Waterman have extensive experience representing each of these competing interests in land use matters. Many of the Kentucky decisions establishing precedents in this area have been handled by our firm.
