William E. Flender

William E. Flender is an owner of Peet Law Group in Williston, Vermont, whose legal background includes real estate and local zoning matters. His work draws on experience with property transactions, land use, and the practical concerns that arise when ownership or development plans intersect with local requirements. At a firm focused on real estate services, he helps address legal questions connected to buying, selling, and transferring property in Vermont.

Flender received a B.S. from the University of Maine in 1999 and a Juris Doctor from Vermont Law School in 2007. During law school, he interned with the Vermont Legislature’s Office of Legislative Counsel, the Vermont League of Cities and Towns, and the Burlington City Attorney’s Office. Those placements gave him exposure to legislative, municipal, and local-government legal work relevant to his later involvement with real estate and zoning matters.

Flender worked for the Vermont Land Trust before entering law school. Following his legal education, he spent three years at a Burlington law firm, primarily handling real estate and local zoning matters. He also served as executive director of the Mad River Path Association in Waitsfield, working with landowners and others to establish public recreation trails. These roles brought together private property concerns, landowner relationships, and community land-use objectives.

William E. Flender joined the Law Offices of Fred V. Peet, P.C. in March 2016 and later became an owner of Peet Law Group. His combination of real estate practice, municipal internships, conservation-related work, and trail development experience informs his approach to property questions. He brings an understanding of both legal documents and the practical interests of people and organizations involved in Vermont land transactions and local land-use decisions.
