Real Estate And Land Use Assistance At Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP
Last updated on February 24, 2026
Businesses profit most from owning and investing in land. Developing real estate into salable properties is lucrative in the extreme. However, that profitability is not without many legal risks.
At Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse LLP, we have considerable experience working on behalf of real estate developers, individual landowners and local government units that are involved in large-scale residential and commercial projects as well as more unique and specialized development.
What We Do For Clients
Our clients come to us because of our reputation across Indiana for insight and dedication to land-use projects. You can rely on us for guidance and representation in cases such as the following:
- Development projects: Breaking ground on a new project requires considerable legal attention for zoning and environmental compliance. You also will need a thorough legal strategy for the eventual sale of the site.
- Telecommunications and energy: Telecomm and energy industries are heavily regulated and demand legal guidance from the beginning to the end to achieve success.
- Landowner representation: We help small residential and agricultural landowners secure the necessary permits and approvals for their projects.
- Zoning and subdivision control: We assist our clients in complying with local ordinances, which helps streamline development processes.
Our services for people and business executives who are seeking to make the most of their land are comprehensive.
