What are the responsibilities and job description for the Land Use Real Estate Senior Counsel position at Direct Counsel?
Direct Counsel is seeking a Senior Counsel to support our Land Use Real Estate Practice Group, in our Portland office. The ideal candidate will possess 6 years of recent land use real estate experience. Candidates should also be licensed to practice in Oregon, have strong writing skills and excellent academic credentials.
The firm's land use attorneys built their reputation by consistently obtaining flexible and defensible land use and development entitlements in every type of development environment — including urban, rural, suburban, coastal and redevelopment. They have handled, from beginning to end, some of the most complicated projects in Oregon. They also represent the developers of smaller projects, who sometimes simply need us to intervene at certain critical points in the entitlement process.
The firm realizes that land use entitlements serve a business goal and understand the ways in which entitlements can affect later aspects of a development, including financing and disposition. This understanding allows them to assist clients in structuring entitlements and the timing and financing of infrastructure investments to best meet their underlying business strategies. Moreover, when development by others has the potential to harm their clients’ interests, we have the expertise to intervene to prevent or eliminate that harm.
