Eminent Domain Report

Next week, Nossaman's eminent domain group will be attending the International Right of Way Association's Annual Education Conference in San Diego.  While we've been attending the conference for several years, we're excited to have it taking place in our own backyard, and we know that our friends and colleagues at Chapter 11 will do an amazing job with it.  If you're going to be there, make sure you take some time to visit with us.  There will be plenty of places to find us:

• On Sunday and Monday, we will be hosting a booth in the exhibition hall.  In addition to it being a great opportunity to seek out some free legal advice from us, we'll also be rocking out with a Guitar Hero themed booth.  Stop by to play the game and get your name on our leader board for a chance to win the new Guitar Hero Live, coming out later this year.  And if you play, you can enter our raffle to win a 65-inch HDTV (it will be the one we're using for the game).  You will find us in Booth 405 & 406.

• On  Monday, June 15, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., Artin Shaverdian will be hosting a panel on "Design-Build Projects and Right of Way Acquisition: Benefits, Challenges and Pitfalls," along with Mark Lancaster (from RCTC) and Joey Mendoza (from OPC).

• On Tuesday, June 16, from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m., I will be moderating a panel on "Legal Constraints with Early Right of Entry Requirements" (and if you don't want to see me, at least come support my co-presenters, Mike Williams and Pat Thayer from HDR).

• Finally, on Wednesday, June 17, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m., Brad Kuhn will be moderating a panel on "How Early Acquisition Can Minimize Risks and Reduce Costs," along with Chip Willett (from Bender Rosenthal) and Rob Caringella (from Jones, Roach & Caringella, Inc.)

I hope to see you there!
