Tyler E. Archer

Tyler Archer advises clients across multiple industries on environmental, real estate, land use, and business matters. He focuses on understanding each client’s goals and delivers practical, strategic advice solutions that achieve results.

 A member of the firm’s Environmental, Energy, and Land Use practice group, Tyler represents clients in complex transactional and regulatory matters, including contract negotiation, due diligence, permitting, compliance, risk management (e.g., environmental insurance), brownfield assessment and remediation including under the new RBCRs, and solar energy siting. He also serves as Vice Chair of the firm’s Food and Beverage industry group, counseling domestic and international clients, local farms, and food businesses on entity formation, contracting, leasing, and compliance (e.g., licensing, marketing, and packaging), particularly with respect to PFAS. Tyler has also presented to UConn Extension’s Solid Ground Program for new and beginning farmers.

Tyler enjoys a growing conservation law practice, advising land trusts and conservation-minded individuals and entities on land preservation strategies (e.g., conservation easements, property donations), stewardship obligations, land trust mergers, and operational matters. His land use work also includes coastal, littoral, and riparian rights and issues, such as access, dredging, and restoration. Actively engaged in the conservation community, Tyler is a member of the Town of Simsbury Open Space Committee and the advisory board of the Simsbury Land Trust. He previously served on a Connecticut Governor’s Council on Climate Change working group on resilient infrastructure and nature-based solutions. In 2025, he presented on land trust mergers at the Connecticut Land Conservation Council’s annual conference and he will serve on CLCC’s 2026 Model Conservation Easement drafting committee. 

Tyler holds a Master’s Degree in Marine Affairs with a focus on ocean policy and coastal management and previously worked on fisheries policy at a Connecticut-based nonprofit. Before joining the firm, he served as a Law Clerk for the Connecticut Superior Court in Hartford. While in law school, he interned for a regional environmental nonprofit and an affordable housing developer.

Outside the office, Tyler and his wife can be found tending their gardens, cooking and wine tasting, exploring local trails, or (much more likely) looking after their four young children.
