Development
Dufford & Brown represents real estate investors, developers, home builders, and lenders in their real estate development
projects. Our experience includes representation of clients throughout the entire real estate development process. We help our
clients structure their development project at its inception by assisting in the formation of business entity structures. Our
attorneys negotiate, draft and review the documents necessary to acquire the real property and assemble the
various parcels targeted for each project. Dufford & Brown helps clients navigate through the entitlement process with local governments
and other regulatory agencies to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to improve and subdivide the real property. Finally, we
help structure and negotiate transactions to sell the improved property so that our clients can begin their next project.
An added benefit of working with Dufford & Brown is our ability to counsel clients on other important aspects of the development
process, including issues associated with securing adequate water rights for the project, complying with
environmental regulations, and negotiating surface use agreements with the owners
of mineral interests below the surface of the project.
