Eminent Domain Report

Want the scoop on what future challenges local government agencies face with respect to eminent domain and redevelopment?  Want to hear from some of the most well-recognized eminent domain attorneys across the nation?  Want to get some CLE credit?  Want to get all your questions answered?  Want to do it all from your desk, in a short one-and-a-half hour presentation?

Come join us on Thursday, December 1, at 10 a.m. (PST) for the online seminar, "Eminent Domain: Redevelopment Challenges for Local Government, Navigating Federal Funding Requirements, Challenges for Public Utilities in Right-of-Way Projects, and Objections to Taking for Public Use."  The panel is nothing short of outstanding:

• Rick Rayl and I will be giving an update on redevelopment, and in particular the potential nationwide ramifications of California's currently pending redevelopment lawsuit before the California Supreme Court. 

• Robert Thomas and Mark Murakami, our good friends at Damon Key (Hawaii), and authors of the blog inversecondemnation.com, will focus on strategies for handling and raising objections to a taking.

• Anthony Della Pelle from McKirdy & Riskin (New Jersey), and author of the blog New Jersey Condemnation Law, will focus on issues with planning for public utility takings and right of way projects.

• J. Casey Pipes from Helmsing, Leach, Herlong, Newman & Rose (Alabama), is the Owners' Counsel member firm from Alabama and Co-Chair of the ABA Litigation Section's Condemnation, Land Use, and Zoning Law Committee, and he will be covering how to navigate the waters of complying with federal funding requirements.

For more details and registration, please check out the Strafford website.  We're hoping you'll sign up.  There's a Q&A session at the end, so bring your questions.

And, as a final note, much thanks to Robert Thomas for getting the ball rolling on this webinar.  It's pretty exciting to be working with some of the top eminent domain attorneys across the country.
