Capabilities

We handle various aspects of government takings and compensation, encompassing landowners’ rights, eminent domain issues, condemnation proceedings, and the pursuit of just compensation, which includes addressing consequential damages and business losses. Our partners have successfully secured attorneys’ fees from the government where permitted for its takings (although that is never a guarantee).

In delivering these legal services, we seamlessly integrate our technological proficiency with our real estate and litigation divisions. This integration enables us to provide our clients with efficient and cost-effective legal guidance.
