Cliff RobinsGeneral Counsel

Cliff Robins joined FLC in 2024 as General Counsel. Born and raised throughout East Tennessee, Cliff grew up in Farragut, Bearden, and a little over a mile from FLC’s Harris Farm.  He attended Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he received an Accounting degree and went on to graduate from law school in Cleveland, Ohio.

Cliff and his wife, Abbie, made their way back to their hometown after Cliff’s service with the U.S. Army JAG Corps as an Associate General Counsel to a two-star general and staff members advising on state/federal law and military regulations and also as an Army prosecutor. Now, he oversees FLC’s legal initiatives from drafting Conservation Easements and contracts to ensuring landowners are in compliance with those respective agreements.

Cliff loves the outdoors and that’s what drives his passion for working for FLC. Whenever he has down time, he can be found hiking, biking, golfing, snowboarding, running, or maybe sitting by a fire with a good book.
