Land Trusts
Legal Advisors to Land Trusts Across the Pacific Northwest
At HCMP, we are proud to serve as trusted counsel to community and conservation land trusts across the region. Our attorneys work collaboratively with land trust organizations of all sizes—whether the goal is to expand access to affordable housing or to preserve irreplaceable natural resources. Our tailored legal strategies and deep understanding of land use and real estate law allow us to deliver creative, effective solutions that further our client’s mission.
Community Land Trusts: Advancing Housing Affordability
We work closely with community land trusts to support their role in addressing the housing affordability crisis. Our team provides strategic guidance on property acquisition, structuring development to preserve affordability in perpetuity, and financing such development with public and private funding sources.
Conservation Land Trusts: Protecting Natural Resources
HCMP also represents conservation land trusts working to preserve old-growth forests, working farms, and ecologically critical lands. We understand the unique principles that apply to conservation land, and we know how to work within the complex legal and regulatory frameworks that impact your protected sites.
