Elizabeth Cone

Attorney

ABHR attorneys provide legal counsel in large land development, public finance, public infrastructure, and local government regulation. Serving as general counsel and bond counsel, attorneys play an important role in orchestrating the financing and construction of water, sewer, drainage, transportation, parks and associated public infrastructure.

One way Elizabeth sees her work making an impact is when she takes her kids to district-financed parks and sees the positive difference the firm’s work has on the lives of the next generation.

Elizabeth advises special purpose district boards on a broad range of public law matters, including contract negotiation and preparation, administration of public meetings, and regulatory compliance. In these capacities, she represents clients with a steady, detail-oriented approach to governance and day-to-day legal operations. Elizabeth also works closely with private developers and local government entities to structure development agreements that provide for public participation in commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects. Elizabeth’s current district representations include Harris County Municipal Utility Districts Nos. 188, 504, 321, 406, and 391; Fort Bend County MUD No. 146; Valley Ranch Town Center Management District; Waller County MUD No. 37; Brazoria County MUD No. 89; Northeast Harris County MUD No. 1; and the Twinwood districts. She draws on prior experience as a real estate attorney at leading national law firms and as in-house counsel to a Texas commercial real estate developer, bringing a practical, solutions-oriented perspective to her practice.

Elizabeth values ABHR’s collaborative culture and is grateful for the firm’s leadership in public finance and its commitment to making a meaningful impact across Texas.
