Conservation Easements
Jane Fredman and paralegal Juanita Kelley have extensive experience working with landowners placing conservation easements on their properties.
We can assist the landowner in selecting the land trust or government entity that will be the most appropriate stewardship partner, facilitate government and/or private grant acquisition to maximize the value of the easement, and oversee the myriad of complex issues that must be addressed to ensure the landowner’s tax benefits and conservation purposes for the property are fully achieved.
Real Estate and Land Use
Jane offers property owners, land developers, owners associations, commercial landlords and tenants, and residential landlords a complete range of real estate acquisition and disposition, development, contracting and management counsel.
Jane represents landowners and developers before local government bodies concerned with land use and development review. She assists residential property buyers or sellers where real estate agents may or may not be involved. Jane develops covenants and other governing documents for commercial and residential communities and provides counsel to numerous business and residential community associations.
Business Formation and Representation
Jane works with clients in a wide range of business transactions, including choosing the type of legal entity to meet the clients’ business needs, helping to determine the structure and formation of a new company, representing the buyer or seller of a business or its assets, and assisting in the negotiation of contracts, leases, licenses and other agreements.
Jane can also provide management and human resources advice as a new business matures. She also counsels clients when termination of a business relationship is necessary. Jane works with a number of financial services institutions, including Colorado and regional banks, and other types of commercial financial services entities active in Colorado and the region.
