Molly counsels public and private clients in all facets of land use law. Her practice includes helping clients navigate divergent federal, state and local statutes and regulations, including drafting new and revised laws and regulations, and advising clients through the legislative process. Molly has considerable experience permitting medium- and large-scale commercial projects and is adept at developing an overall strategy for taking a proposal from conception through construction. In addition to permitting and legislative work, Molly regularly litigates zoning and permit-related appeals before local governments, the Washington Growth Management Hearings Board, and in state and federal court. Early in her practice, Molly focused her efforts in telecommunications, appearing before dozens of tribunals as part of assisting several wireless telecommunication providers to launch and maintain their wireless networks in the Pacific Northwest. More recently, Molly has developed a specialty helping clients address ongoing changes in the regulations affecting development within floodplains.
