Top Law Schools

Anyone know which firms have prominent real estate practice groups that focus on land use/zoning as opposed to finance?

Bryan Cave in NYC. Fried Frank also does some of this, though they do more real estate finance.

kramer levin, also, for ny.
morrison foerster for san francisco. bingham mccutchen for san francisco as well (to a lesser degree).

paul hastings? i think they do dirt law

Check out Wachtel. Wachtel & Masyr, that is. Masyr is considered one of the top land-use guys in the city. I have no clue what they pay or the overall reputation of the firm, though.

I guess you missed this the first time around: "Use Chambers if you want to know about a specific practice area"

Thank you, but I am looking for personal anecdotes/advice from people who actually practice land use law.
