Overview
We combine the legal knowledge and practical experience of an eminent domain boutique with the resources and geographic reach of a large firm. Our professionals counsel and represent clients through every stage of a condemnation case — including negotiations for the acquisition of property, institution of condemnation proceedings, right to take challenges, and the ultimate determination of just compensation through litigation, valuation trials and appeals. We do this work across the country and provide a single source of legal support to evaluate takings and represent client interests wherever their property is located. Through representing property owners facing condemnation as well as government entities, utilities and energy companies needing to acquire property, we understand the objectives of both sides of a condemnation case and can anticipate and proactively resolve issues clients may encounter. Our lawyers have served as national eminent domain counsel to clients with large real estate portfolios, helped companies secure hundreds of miles right-of-way for utilities and energy facilities, and represented individual landowners in litigation and appeals that have led to significant increases in the just compensation received.
