Tim Sampson is a seasoned real estate and land use attorney with 11+ years at Downs Rachlin Martin and a long prior tenure in the Northern Virginia development market, now based in Burlington, Vermont. He represents a diverse client roster—from a major healthcare system and national homebuilder to ski resort owners and small developers—handling acquisitions, sales, leases, permitting, development agreements, and complex public/private transit-oriented projects. Tim’s practice spans commercial real estate finance, planned community and condominium regimes, easements, covenants and title work, bringing practical, jurisdiction-spanning expertise to transactions and regulatory processes. He began his career in high-energy Northern Virginia development and has translated that market-tested perspective to Vermont, giving clients cross-market insights that improve deal predictability and permitting outcomes. Unusually for a practicing attorney, he also applies a teacher’s mindset to organizing disorganized data and streamlining processes, helping teams make legal and transactional information maintainable and actionable.
