Clients need adept guidance through complex development, construction and zoning issues facing projects; they must comply with wide-ranging federal, state and local requirements while accommodating a mixture of residential, commercial, office, retail, hotel, public transportation and other uses.

The firm is special counsel to the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority ("MARTA") for all transit-oriented development, which currently involves major projects throughout metropolitan Atlanta.
