Conservation Easements

As the use of conservation easements to preserve scenic land, historic sites, and other cultural resources has grown, Stites & Harbison has earned a reputation as a go-to firm for major conservation easements in the southeastern United States. The firm's attorneys have been front-and-center on dozens of major, record-breaking gifts, consulted on complex transactions, and invited to speak and publish on the sophisticated legal issues surrounding conservation easements. These perpetual easements, when donated to qualified organizations, offer protection for these privately owned sites and create tax savings for the donors.
