About Natalie
Natalie Cavellier represents landowners and rural property owners throughout Texas and New Mexico, guiding them through complex land use planning, property transactions, and valuation matters with honesty, authenticity, and care. With a background that spans environmental protection, coastal management, and real estate property development, she brings a unique perspective to helping clients protect, steward, and make the most of their land.
Natalie’s practice focuses on conservation easements and conservation related real estate transactions, property tax planning, including 1-d-1 open space valuations, and creative strategies for achieving her clients’ long-term goals. She believes that land is more than an asset; it is deeply tied to history, legacy, and emotion. By understanding the stories behind each property and the people connected to it, she helps landowners make decisions that honor their past while building their future.
Clients rely on Natalie not just as an attorney but as a trusted advisor who takes the time to understand their vision and guide them through deeply personal decisions.
Before joining Braun & Gresham, Natalie gained experience as a legal assistant at an immigration firm in Miami and completed internships with Norwegian Cruise Lines and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. She also worked in the Environmental Justice Clinic during law school, bringing toxic tort litigation against local governments, and served as a student representative for graduate programs at the University of Miami.
Natalie is a frequent speaker on property tax matters and conservation strategies and is known for her ability to craft innovative solutions to complex land use challenges.
Natalie earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law, where she also completed an LL.M. in Real Property Development. She holds a Master of Professional Science in Coastal Zone Management from the University of Miami and a Bachelors from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she was a four-year member of the NCAA swim team.
Deeply connected to the land herself, Natalie grew up along the Rio Grande, riding horses through the Bosque and exploring the natural landscapes that shaped her love for open spaces. Today, she finds inspiration in the rugged beauty of places like Alpine, Texas, and Ojo Caliente, New Mexico. When she’s not advocating for landowners, Natalie enjoys spending time outdoors with her dogs and horse, swimming, gardening, and participating in trail conservancy cleanups.
