With rapid state growth, utility providers face constant threats to land rights and right-of-ways from encroachments, road expansions, and new developments. Protecting these valuable assets is essential. We help clients identify threats, assess impacts, and resolve conflicts to safeguard their land rights and facilities.
Our fees are based on results, not hours billed. We have developed an all inclusive flat-rate per parcel fee structure for land use permissions. This allows our clients to accurately budget for land rights and protects against run-away acquisition costs. Our clients find extraordinary benefit to a flat rate per parcel fee structure, especially in challenging negotiations.
We see infrastructure expansion as a partnership between landowners and our clients. Our skilled negotiators excel at fostering cooperation by understanding each party's motivations and objections. We tailor solutions to each property and circumstance, ensuring every problem is met with a proposed resolution.
Land rights acquisition and management often require diverse expertise. Our statewide network of title companies, surveyors, appraisers, environmental experts, engineers, and attorneys enables us to deliver tailored, turn-key land rights to support our in-house team.
