“There is something altruistic in every lawyer’s initial decision to practice law — we want to advance social causes or protect the rights of the under-represented members of our society,” said McConnell. “ I am honored to work with and among such a highly qualified and productive group of lawyers and staff and to serve as the firm’s president.”

McConnell represents clients undertaking a wide variety of commercial and residential real estate development activities, including residential, retail and office condominium developments, low-income housing projects utilizing tax credit financing, subdivision and mixed-use community development and securing land-use entitlements for transportation oriented developments.  He also has experience reviewing and evaluating impact fee studies in relation to state statutory requirements and assisting clients in connection with the negotiation of impact fee reductions. His clients routinely seek his assistance with acquisition, financing, entitlement, development, construction and the ultimate sale or lease of their respective development projects.
