THE OPPORTUNITY
Williams Parker is seeking a Land Use Attorney with approximately 5+ years of private practice experience to join one of Southwest Florida's most established land use and development practices. This opportunity is intended for an attorney whose practice includes zoning, entitlements, permitting, comprehensive plan amendments, and representation before local government boards and commissions on behalf of developers, property owners, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and public-sector clients.
The successful candidate will assume significant responsibility for high-profile growth and development matters in one of the nation's most active markets.
For more than a century, Williams Parker has served as a trusted advisor to individuals, families, businesses, and institutions, building an enduring legacy through sophisticated counsel, exceptional service, and meaningful community stewardship. Our founder, J.J.
Williams Jr., counseled public- and private-sector clients from the earliest days of the Firm and the earliest days of this community, and our work has been foundational to the region's development—from the famed Ringling Isles development on Longboat Key to the pioneering planned unit developments of The Meadows to the rising skyline of today.
A portable book of business is not required; however, candidates must bring the technical command, professional maturity, and sound judgment necessary to assume near partner-level responsibilities with limited supervision.
THE WORK YOU WILL LEAD
As a member of Williams Parker's Land Use practice, you will:
Shape how this community grows. Represent public- and private-sector clients, including nonprofit organizations, before municipal and county boards, commissions, and councils on a vast range of zoning, permitting, and land use matters.
Advance projects through the entitlement process with efficiency and precision. Guide comprehensive plan amendments, re-zonings, special exceptions, zoning code amendments, street vacations, subdivision approvals, and environmental reviews from strategy through approval.
Advocate persuasively in public forums. Prepare and present applications, petitions, staff submittals, and supporting materials, and appear at public hearings and administrative proceedings where outcomes are decided.
Navigate complex local government codes and procedures. Counsel clients on land development regulations, concurrency, vested rights, development agreements, and the practical realities of how approvals are secured at ground level.
Unite legal, planning, and business perspectives. Collaborate with engineers, planners, architects, consultants, lenders, and attorneys across the Firm's real estate, construction, environmental, corporate, and litigation practices to deliver integrated counsel on development projects.
Become an enduring trusted advisor. Cultivate lasting relationships with clients, regulators, and decision-makers through responsiveness, credibility, technical excellence, and an exceptional commitment to client service.
