Land-use attorneys
Sneed, Vine & Perry
Sneed, Vine & Perry, P.C. is an Austin, Texas law firm whose land development and land use group handles the regulations that govern developing land: zoning, historic preservation ordinances, restrictive covenants, environmental regulations, annexation, and subdivision and site plan approval.
The firm is organized into practice groups rather than a single specialty, so entitlement work sits next to the transaction and the financing. Its commercial real estate group represents investors, developers, private equity firms, REITs, institutional lenders, title companies and school districts; its real estate lending group represents lenders and borrowers on commercial and residential loans, home equity, construction, bridge, conduit and mezzanine debt; and it also runs residential real estate, business and corporate, commercial litigation, construction, tax, and estate planning and probate practices. Mediation is offered through a firm shareholder who has been a mediator for more than 25 years.
The firm dates itself to 1926 and describes 100 years of experience in Austin. It works from two offices: Bee Caves Road in Austin and West 6th Street in Georgetown. Its estate planning and probate group describes more than 80 years of collective experience in Texas probate, estate planning and trust law.
The site publishes no rates or fee arrangements. It also notes that, unless otherwise stated, the firm's attorneys are not certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, so ask directly about the experience of the lawyer who would handle a specific entitlement or zoning matter.
Best for
Owners and developers with Central Texas entitlement work - zoning, platting, annexation, covenants - who want the same firm to handle the purchase and the loan. Not a fit outside Texas or for owners wanting a published flat fee.
