Alterman Law Group attends the Real Property, Trusts & Estates Section meeting in Puerto Rico

Two years after Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, much has been repaired. Much work remains. The Real Property, Trusts & Estates Section of the American Bar Association was proud to support the recovery efforts by bringing our Fall Leadership meeting to San Juan this month.

Alterman Law Group contributed, in a small way, by sending our entire legal team to the conference. (That’s less grand than it sounds: our firm has two lawyers.)  The Puerto Rican people were as warm and inviting as the sandy beaches and the restaurants of San Juan, and they hope that their fellow Americans will again come to visit and enjoy the island.

Erica Menze presents at RELU

On August 16, Erica Menze presented a session on basic principles of real estate law for land use lawyers to the annual meeting of the Real Estate and Land Use Section of the Oregon State Bar.  It was entitled “Don’t Zone Out When Your Client’s In Seizin.” (A simultaneous presentation in the next room covered basic principles of land use law for real estate lawyers.)

Oregon has many outstanding real estate lawyers and many fine land use practitioners.  Only a few lawyers regularly practice where the two fields overlap.  If you have a real estate situation with quirky land use issues, or a land use problem with an unusual real estate twist, perhaps we can help.
