An innovative law firm in land banking, community development and environmental law.

We serve as lead counsel for land banks, economic development agencies and public-private partnerships, designing and implementing legal strategies for economic revitalization and sustainable growth.

As counsel to the Cook County Land Bank Authority (CCLBA) and South Suburban Land Bank and Development Authority (SSLBDA), DENZIN employs novel strategies for acquiring, managing and repurposing distressed property. Our active conduit transaction (ACT) strategies leverage governmental authority and private capital to mitigate risk and build program income for future operations.

The DENZIN team helps public and private clients restore brownfields into vibrant commercial/industrial magnets. To prepare communities for a changing climate, we structure stormwater utilities and low-impact growth strategies for both rural and urban communities. We believe that every property can be an asset to its surrounding community. Whether implementing resiliency plans, revitalizing industrial areas or preserving natural resources, DENZIN will help bring your community’s vision to life.
