Overview

Content is provided by the firm.

Founded in 1991, Earl & Curley has always focused its legal practice on land use, zoning and property development in Arizona. Over the years, we have become one of the premier land use firms in the Phoenix Valley.

Our legal and planning professionals have extensive experience in this field of law and planning, with our planners having valuable experience working in public sector planning positions prior to switching to the private side. Together we assist clients with the preparation and application of rezoning documents, use permits, variances, easements, abandonments, site plans, subdivision plats, development agreements, and other land use entitlements. In addition, we represent clients at meetings and hearings with city planners and zoning commissions, city councils and boards of supervisors, and neighborhood groups. The firm has built strong relationships with municipal and county staff and officials throughout Arizona, allowing us to move projects smoothly through the regulatory system.

A Full-Service Land Use Firm

We have extensive experience with a broad range of residential (single-family and multifamily), commercial, industrial, storage, office, retail, institutional projects, as well as master-planned communities. Additionally, we negotiate development agreements between cities, counties and developers, as well as assist with intergovernmental agreements as required.

We coordinate efforts on behalf of our clients with neighborhood groups, municipal and county planning and zoning staff, city councils, and other city and county boards and commissions. We also work in the governmental relations area and meet and advocate for projects with elected officials as needed to aid in obtaining project approvals. Our client list includes some of the most recognizable names in real estate development and financing.
