• Assist and coordinate with clients in working with local city and state officials across the country with respect to planning, zoning, traffic, storm water management, and compliance matters related to the development, redevelopment, and use of property.

What you need:

• 7+ years of experience in real estate;
• Applicants must currently be licensed, or currently eligible to become licensed, to practice law in Nebraska;
