One of the reasons why we love Chicagoland is because of its cultural diversity. So many immigrants come here to make their American dream a reality. For many, this includes starting a business. We believe in empowering immigrant entrepreneurs and business owners because we know what it takes to leave the familiar and embark into the unknown. 

To support the immigrant business community, we proudly offer on-demand interpreter and translation services on all zoning and land use matters, including special use permits, variances, zoning amendments, and more. Here is a non-exhaustive list of languages we work with:

  • Spanish
  • Polish
  • Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese)
  • Tagalog
  • Arabic
  • Urdu
  • Gujarati
  • Russian
  • Ukrainian
  • Serbian
  • Hindi

Zoning and land use issues are complicated, but they’re even more challenging for those who don’t speak English well. Our goal is to make the process as easy and streamlined as possible regardless of any particular client’s language barrier.
