Amanda Kohls

Associate

I am committed to finding and executing cost-effective, ‎long-term solutions that balance environmental and ‎developmental needs.‎

How I represent clients at Schwabe

I assist clients in navigating a wide range of real estate matters, from land use and environmental compliance to property transactions and regulatory analysis.

I spent a summer with Schwabe as a summer associate to gain hands-on experience and hone my skills. Prior to joining Schwabe, I  interned with The Hon. Michael W. Mosman, U.S. District Court of Oregon. At the University of Florida Levin College of Law, I participated in both the mediation clinic and the environmental and community development clinic where I enjoyed working with clients on meaningful real estate and environmental issues.
