The National Trust has long supported the use of legal tools to protect and preserve historic places. None of this work is possible without dedicated and committed lawyers who are willing and able to assume preservation legal matters.

The National Preservation Lawyers Network is a national network that enables and empowers interested lawyers to provide representation to the American people in order to protect, preserve, and reuse the historic places in their communities. The Network is committed to promoting education within the preservation law community through the sharing of information, and by connecting preservation attorneys to each other, to the National Trust, and to the public.

Membership in the Network is free. By joining the Network, there is no obligation for an attorney to accept representation, but rather the opportunity to connect with potential clients. Participation does not create an attorney-client relationship between an attorney, the National Trust or any other party unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
