Land-use attorneys

Kaplin Stewart

Kaplin Stewart is a business law firm founded in 1997 with offices in Blue Bell and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Cherry Hill, New Jersey. It represents companies, owners and developers in business, real estate and land use matters, and describes its lawyers as businesspeople who are lawyers, working with clients on long-term risk as well as the matter in front of them.

The land use, zoning and development practice helps developers and land owners clear the legal obstacles that hold projects up, and sits alongside a real estate transactional group, a construction practice covering projects from concept to completion, commercial litigation, business and corporate law, employment law, environmental law, and estate planning and private client work. A deal that turns into a dispute stays inside the firm.

The firm's stated geography is Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties, and it says it also serves clients regionally and nationally. Through membership in MSI Global Alliance, an association of more than 250 independent legal and accounting firms in over 100 countries, it offers clients access to counsel outside the US.

Rates and engagement terms are not published; contact the Blue Bell office at 610-260-6000, the Philadelphia office at 215-567-3120, or Cherry Hill at 856-675-1550 to schedule an initial consultation.

Best for

Owners and developers taking a project through municipal zoning and planning boards in suburban Philadelphia or South Jersey, who also want construction and litigation counsel under one roof. Not a fit outside Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
