"Inverse" Condemnation and Regulatory Takings

Often, governmental action impacts private property outside of the formal eminent domain context. This may take the form of a physical encroachment upon private property, or a regulatory action which impacts an owner's use and/or value. In these circumstances, a constitutional “taking” requiring the payment of compensation may have occurred. Our Attorneys are some of the leading authorities on these "inverse" condemnation issues and have successfully vindicated landowners' rights by bringing constitutional and statutory claims for relief.
