Land Use and Planning

Land use and planning is probably one of the most complex subject areas in law; as such it requires a highly specialized treatment. It is a field dominated by a complicated distribution of powers between public authorities, where multiple public policies meet together, all of which depend greatly on planning in order to meet their objectives. These circumstances have gradually defined a particularly complex legal regime, both in substance and procedure. Pareja & Associats, Advocats has long experience in land use and planning, in the execution of development plans as well as in construction law.
