PAUL BURDETT
OF COUNSEL

Paul has worked with landowners, agricultural producers, and conservation organizations on real estate, land use, and natural resource matters throughout Montana. He brings courtroom experience and a steady, straightforward approach to every client relationship, with particular experience in conservation easements and real property issues.

​

Paul most recently served as General Counsel to a major Montana land trust, where he handled conservation easement matters across the state. He began his legal career as a litigation attorney in Bozeman, and has worked for the Montana Supreme Court and the First Judicial District Court in Lewis & Clark County—experience that gives him a practical, courtroom-tested perspective on how disputes actually unfold.

 

Paul comes from a farming and ranching background, which shapes how he approaches land use and agricultural law. Before law school, he spent his summers guiding fly-fishing trips on the Smith River, and he remains an avid outdoorsman today.

 

Paul graduated with honors from the University of Montana School of Law.
