Expropriation is a complex field. A successful outcome depends upon having an agile, multidisciplinary legal team with experience in all of the various aspects of the process, from initiation to negotiating or mediating settlements and drafting complex agreement and, where necessary, examining and cross examining witnesses at a compensation hearing.
Resolving complex claims often involving environmental, engineering, land use planning, and business loss and appraisal experts requires a thorough understanding of those fields of expertise. BLG’s lawyers have experience working with these professionals to assemble the right team to deliver the best results.
