Christe White Named Fellow in American College of Real Estate Lawyers

Portland real estate and land use law firm Radler White Parks & Alexander LLP is pleased to announce that Christe White has been named a Fellow of the American College of Real Estate Lawyers (www.acrel.org).

The American College of Real Estate Lawyers is “the premier organization of U.S. real estate lawyers.” Admission is by invitation only after a rigorous peer review process. ACREL’s distinguished, nationally-known lawyers are elected to fellowship for “their outstanding legal ability, experience and high standards of professional and ethical conduct in the practice of real estate law.”

“Christe’s selection as a Fellow of ACREL recognizes her significant achievements on behalf of our clients,” said Barbara Radler, a Founding Partner of Radler White Parks & Alexander LLP, who is also a Fellow of ACREL. “It’s an important career distinction for Christe and an honor for our firm.”

Christe White is a Founding Partner of Radler White Parks & Alexander LLP and a member of the firm’s Land Use and Real Estate practice groups. She has built a reputation for strategic counseling that successfully guides a client through the entire life span of a development project, from the initial planning and strategy phase, through entitlement to the defense of approvals on appeal if necessary.

Ms. White is ranked by Chambers USA as an industry leader in land use law, and reviewers have called her “one of the top land use lawyers in the state.” She was recently recognized as the region’s Lawyer of the Year in Land Use and Zoning in the 2018 edition of The Best Lawyers in America (c).

Ms. White is a frequent speaker before client groups, other lawyers and consultants on a wide array of topics, including successful permitting strategies, density transfers, constitutional limitations on exactions and legal developments in land use. She was appointed by Governor Kitzhaber to serve on the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) Task force charged with re-writing the rules for UGB amendments and serves on the Board of LOCUS, a local chapter of Smart Growth America.
