Lunch & Learn at UF Innovate | The Hub
The time will come when you are ready to spread your wings and leave our Hub Sweet Home! When that time comes, we want you to be prepared. Join Byron Flagg of GrayRobinson for a Lunch & Learn on what to know before buying land or signing leases for business space.
This event is open to the public. Please register by noon on March 3rd.
Learn basic legal aspects of land use and zoning, how land use laws and zoning laws affect start up businesses and expanding businesses, basic land use due diligence before signing purchase contracts or lease agreements.
This is a great opportunity to learn the basics of what you will need to know when buying land or leasing business space.
Meet the speaker:

Byron counsels landowners, business entities, individuals, and local governments on land use, zoning, environmental, regulatory, conservation, and real estate issues. Although having a statewide practice, he is focused on North Central Florida, based in GrayRobinson’s Gainesville office, his hometown. Byron has additional experience as outside counsel to several Florida municipalities and nonprofit organizations, advising on a variety of land use and coastal-related issues across the state of Florida.
For more than 15 years, Byron has advocated for his clients in all types of forums. He previously served as an assistant general counsel for the St. Johns River Water Management District handling Environmental Resource Permit matters, and as a felony assistant state attorney in the Eighth Judicial Circuit handling numerous jury trials. He has litigated criminal and civil jury trials, as well as a range of administrative hearings involving environmental, land use, property appraiser, and code enforcement issues. More recently, Byron served in a unique role as conservation land negotiator for Alachua County’s Office of Land Conservation and Management where he assisted in the administration of Alachua County’s taxpayer-funded land acquisition program Alachua County Forever.
