I’m Ryan Douglas, a land use and real estate litigator based in Boston. I work with clients to navigate complex property disputes ranging from zoning and permitting issues to development conflicts and boundary disagreements.
 
The law is always changing, and writing has become one of the most useful ways for me to keep pace. This blog gives me a place to think through new decisions, shifting trends, and the practical challenges that come up in land use, environmental, and development work. Some posts are more analytical, others more informal. But all are part of an effort to understand where the law is going and how it functions in real-world settings.
