With expertise in Montréal, Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver, Hague & Cobb LLP’s Municipal & Land Use Group delivers strategic advice on a broad range of land development, planning, and municipal law matters. Clients include municipalities, large-scale residential developers, commercial landowners and developers, institutional clients, industrial clients, infrastructure, and transit authorities.


The Municipal & Land Use Group facilitates the delivery of development permissions, permits, licenses, and regulatory approvals. We work closely with clients to identify key issues and strategic approaches to “get the shovel in the ground.”


Strong relationships fostered with senior municipal staff and politicians allow us to secure approvals and permits for a variety of complex and politically sensitive development proposals. When disputes arise, governments, corporations, landowners, and developers rely on our skill and versatility to advocate at each step of an approvals process, from pursuing minor variances at Committees of Adjustment, to arguing before the Supreme Court of Canada. Clients count on us to bring complex and challenging matters to successful resolution.
