The Law Office of Peter D. Mohr
One SW Columbia Street, Suite 1110 - Portland, OR 97258

Oregon Real Property Attorney

Environmental, land use, and water law regulations, in addition to the evolving body of law under Oregon’s Ballot Measure 37, can greatly affect the ability of real property owners to develop new uses or protect existing uses of their property. At the Law Office of Peter D. Mohr, we help property owners consider the significance of these regulations and assist in the creation of a variety of options so they can best determine which direction they wish to proceed relative to long- and short-term objectives and matters of cost and risk.

Our firm has an extensive background handling issues related to real property development and conservation. Such expertise, however, is not limited to the real property owner only, but includes advising lenders on how to properly secure their financial interests on development projects large and small. The firm’s real property practice typically advises clients on matters including:

• annexation
• purchase and sale contracts
• water supply
• water availability
• water rights
• easement and rights of way agreements for telecom, water supply, public utility, agriculture, forestry, and other access reliant uses
• wetlands issues
• environmental risk assessments and due diligence
• Oregon Ballot Measure 37

Environmental and Water Rights Advice for Lending Institutions

We recognize that lending institutions assume significant risk in real property development projects. Over time, as water rights in many parts of the Northwest begin to assume market values higher than the land involved, our ability to help lenders assess the real value of water rights, as well as water availability and protection, is a vital part of risk analysis in any development project. All too often, lending institutions are not properly secured regarding this most valuable of assets.

Special Counsel for Water Availability and Risk Issues

We often are asked to assist other traditional land use or business lawyers in the evaluation of water availability and risk issues as they look to advise their respective clients on real property projects.
