On Feb. 15, Taft Chicago partner Graham Grady will be featured as a panelist at the 36th Annual Land Use Institute National Conference presented by Touro University Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center and The Institute for Land Use and Sustainable Development Law. During the conference, Grady will discuss, “Diversity, Inclusion and Bias Consideration Facing the Legal Profession.” 

The Annual Land Use Institute program is designed for attorneys, professional planners, and government officials involved in land use planning, zoning, permitting, property development, conservation and environmental protection, and related litigation. It not only addresses and analyzes the state-of-the-art efforts by government to manage land use and development but also presents the key issues faced by property owners and developers in obtaining necessary governmental approvals.

Grady advises real estate developers, investors, and property owners on land use entitlements. He helps secure necessary approvals for land developments in the Chicago metropolitan area. Grady is a member of the Commercial Club of Chicago, the Economic Club of Chicago, and is the founder of Chicago African-Americans in Commercial Real Estate (Chi-AACRE).
