About us

From its Leesburg office, Reed Smith maintains long-standing, professional relationships with governmental, judicial and corporate leaders in Loudoun County -- the third-fastest-growing high tech market in the country. Through its merger with Hazel & Thomas, Reed Smith offers one of the largest land-use practices in Virginia. The Group's attorneys and professional land planners offer decades of experience in representing developers and local governments in connection with the land-use process.

The Land Use Group leads clients through every step of the land-use approval maze, including planning, zoning, and obtaining special use permits, special exceptions, variances, and the subdivision and site plan approvals. Our attorneys are highly experienced in expediting plans through the land-use process.

In recent years, land use, historic preservation and environmental law have become increasingly intertwined, and the Land Use Group focuses on a wide variety of land-use-related historic preservation and environmental issues.

Over the past 20 years, the Land Use Group has handled every type of administrative and legislative land use and environmental issue, as well as major land-use litigation cases in local courts and the Supreme Court of the United States.
