BakerHostetler’s eminent domain lawyers understand the challenges, opportunities, and concerns that clients face in connection with eminent domain and condemnation actions. Because we represent both property owners and condemning authorities, we understand the unique and often diverse perspectives of all parties involved, so we are able to seek creative solutions and employ novel approaches to eminent domain issues.
As a firm of more than 1,000 attorneys throughout 18 offices nationwide, we have the skills and resources needed to handle complex eminent domain actions in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, shale, and utilities. By combining our focused knowledge in the area of eminent domain with our vast firmwide resources, we are able to represent clients on a national scale. We have represented energy companies, homeowners, developers, farm owners, corporations, REITs, banks, nonprofit organizations, universities and colleges, hotels, convenience stores, and restaurants, among other business owners.
As the energy industry continues to grow throughout the United States, it is increasingly important for businesses to expand geographically in order to capitalize on available resources. By working with the lawyers in our energy practice team, we are able to help clients obtain property for energy projects such as pipelines and transmission lines through the condemnation and eminent domain process.
