Bret Jones is a real estate development attorney and founder of Bret Jones, P.A. in Clermont, Florida, where he helps developers and place-makers build walkable, mixed-use communities grounded in New Urbanist principles. His practice centers on the legal architecture of town-building — structuring entities, preparing development related agreements, and raising capital through private offerings, alongside land-use, entitlements, and outside general counsel work for clients across both form-based-code and conventional-zoning jurisdictions. He brings a rare combination of transactional precision and a genuine commitment to the craft of making great places.

Bret was a member of the inaugural cohort of the Urban Guild's Design and Development Leadership Program, an experience that deepened his conviction that thoughtful legal and financial structures are essential to bringing enduring, human-scaled communities to life. He continues to advance that mission through his work advising developers on complex, multi-party projects nationwide.
