Land Development
The Larkin Hoffman Government Relations team understands that some land development projects require special legislation to achieve unique business objectives. We draw upon our experience and connections to help clients overcome land use and real estate issues, deal with environmental concerns and secure public financing mechanisms for both private development and public infrastructure projects.

Land use
Larkin Hoffman attorneys work with clients to resolve land use and real estate issues through statutory and rule change. Our firm’s strong connections with key government officials, policy makers, community organizations and other groups are important in resolving land use and development issues. At the Minnesota capitol and in front of state agencies, our Government Relations team works hard to make the zoning, development and land use processes function better on local, regional and statewide levels. We have a strong reputation at the capitol and a broad base of experience on land use and real estate issues, making our team an experienced ally.
Environment
Larkin Hoffman lobbyists are experienced at representing our clients’ environmental interests in front of city councils, county boards, regulatory agencies and the state legislature. We understand how the process works and we are here to lead clients to a successful outcome.
Public finance
Our government relations team has a proven track record of securing public financing through tax increment finance (TIF), bonding, abatements and other financing methods. We find creative solutions by working with elected officials and public agency staff to solve problems. Through our work, our clients have been able to secure the public support necessary to complete their projects. Our firm’s long tradition of strong connections with key government officials, policy makers, state agencies and other groups at all levels of government contribute to our effectiveness in the area of public finance.
