BEH is highly experienced in litigation, administrative law, and appeals. We are admitted to practice in federal court, including at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and routinely practice in Oregon’s circuit courts, where inverse condemnation, writ of review and writ of mandamus proceedings, contract disputes, and other litigation of importance to our clients is most often filed. We regularly handle appeals at the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals, the Oregon Court of Appeals, and proceedings before a variety of state and federal agencies.

Our litigation experience goes beyond the courtroom and includes mediations, settlement conferences, and arbitrations. We consult with clients to determine the desired outcome and work diligently to achieve those results, whether that includes a full litigation strategy or settlement options. We recognize that different situations call for different approaches and create flexible relationships with our clients to discern what approach is needed in each situation. Importantly, we also work closely with our clients on risk management issues to avoid litigation entirely.
