 The firm’s real estate practice is sophisticated and comprehensive. Our lawyers have substantial experience in handling a diverse range of real estate matters for individual and business clients and developers, including complex real estate transactions involving multiple parcels and interests. We handle all manner of real estate and land use problems, including: real estate-based commercial finance; environmental risk management; zoning, land use planning and development; commercial leasing; real estate property tax appeals and appraisal evaluation; condemnations; foreclosures; and all forms of residential and commercial conveyancing. The firm’s real estate group is supported by an experienced staff of legal assistants who facilitate the provision of prompt, cost-effective service.
The firm’s real estate practice includes a specialization in conservation easements. Conservation easements are donations of interests in land in which the landowner retains the right to live on the property and use it for its traditional use but is restricted with respect to future development of the property. We work with clients who have donated conservation easements to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, the Piedmont Environmental Council, and the Albemarle County Public Recreational Facilities Authority. The Commonwealth of Virginia has developed one of the most innovative programs in the country to encourage easement donations, and we have developed excellent working relationships with property appraisers, CPA’s, Land Preservation Credit brokers, and the attorneys and staff at the various conservation organizations, in order to facilitate the easement donation process. Virginia’s laws and regulations regarding conservation easements have evolved significantly in the past decade, and we provide our clients with advice and guidance about the latest changes and their effects on landowners and potential easement donors.
