Land-use attorneys
Robinson Bradshaw
Robinson Bradshaw is a full-service business law firm in the Carolinas with offices in Charlotte, Raleigh, the Research Triangle in North Carolina, and Rock Hill, South Carolina. Its work spans corporate and transactional, litigation, real estate, and tax and wealth management across more than 40 practice areas.
The real estate department is organized into land use and zoning, real estate development and finance, condemnation and real estate disputes, construction, and environmental. Adjacent practices that matter to owners and developers include economic development, commercial transactions, finance and capital markets, public finance, private equity, joint ventures, and taxation.
The firm opened in 1960 as a two-attorney practice and now reports more than 165 attorneys and 280+ professionals across four offices; it opened the Rock Hill, South Carolina office in 1991. It operates without origination credits or billable hour quotas, and says 107 of its attorneys were recognized in the 2027 Best Lawyers report.
Rates are not published. Because land use and zoning is one group inside a much broader firm, buyers should confirm which office and which attorneys would handle a matter before engaging.
