Whether representing private developers or municipalities, Carmody lawyers work closely with town planners and land use agencies to identify potential legal issues early and offer practical, comprehensive solutions to accomplish our clients’ goals. Our clients range from major international corporations to local and national developers, nonprofits such as churches, schools, hospitals, and clubs, as well as private homeowners and municipalities.  

Our multidisciplinary, collaborative approach draws expertise from our environmental, tax, finance, corporate, and dispute resolution practices, and we are well-known for our ability to counsel clients on all aspects of zoning and permitting, representation in front of municipal boards and state agencies, litigate zoning issues and represent clients in appeals, as well as work with development teams.

With decades of success and public-sector experience, we understand the government, political and policy environments in which the decisions affecting our clients are made. In Connecticut, our unique insight is a result of direct involvement with the state and municipalities.

Carmody’s Land Use practice is ranked as a leading firm in Chambers USA Guide to the Legal Profession 2025.
