Advocacy

Need some expert land use advice?

Is there a proposed development or use that appears to be in violation with land use protections? Thanks to our generous individual donors and Oregon family foundations, our team of land use attorneys and planners are here to help you understand if there is a potential or current land use violation, at no cost to you. And, if there is a credible land use violation, we may be able to help you further: from advice to research to drafting documents to formal legal representation.

We view litigation as a tool of last resort. Our ability to defend our land use protections in the courts is important, but the process also takes time, money, and can bring anxiety and frustration for our clients involved in the proceedings. We always seek the most direct, hassle-free path to land use compliance and will work with you on what sounds good to you.
