I’m Ryan Douglas, a land use and environmental lawyer based in Boston. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate complex property disputes and development challenges, including zoning, environmental permitting, and litigation. I work on matters ranging from project approvals and compliance to boundary disagreements and conflicts that arise during development.
 
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.
