The planning and zoning practice at S. Horowitz & Co is distinguished by its record in contentious work, where it leverages the firm’s dispute resolution firepower to handle complex planning and construction litigation, including criminal proceedings. The team also advises entrepreneurs, construction companies and local authorities, among others, on approval processes and other non-contentious regulatory matters. The team is led jointly by litigators Amir Caspari and Asaf Rentsler — both of whom contribute experience in land use and planning, construction and development, and administrative law litigation.
