Apr 21 @ 11:30 am – 1:30 pm
6th Annual - IRWA Chapter 57 & SCCAI Joint Meeting

Mr. Kuhn and Mr. Caringella will be discussing project benefits and
their significance in the eminent domain arena. Material to be
covered will include the statutory and case law landscape that gives
rise to the issue of project benefits, when and how they may apply,
and methods and techniques used for quantifying benefits. The
MidCoast light rail project and other public projects will be discussed
that will illustrate a range of potential sources of benefits and how
potentially appraisers can measure benefits. Tips and tricks and
sources of data will be discussed. The presenters will provide a
perspective from both the attorney and the appraiser, including
experiences through the lens of both public agencies and property
owners.

 

Bradford B. Kuhn
Partner, Orange County
NOSSAMAN LLP

Brad Kuhn serves as Chair of Nossaman’s Eminent Domain & Valuation Group, likely the largest group of
skilled eminent domain attorneys in California and the United States. Brad is a real estate and business
litigation attorney, with a particular emphasis in the transportation, energy/gas, water, land-use
development, and telecommunications industries. He is a recognized leader in advising on all real
property aspects of infrastructure and development projects, and has led some of the largest projects in

the cover of Right of Way Magazine, and he has been called upon to present across the country and
oversee multiple treatises and courses on real estate. Chambers & Partners, the guide to the world’s best
lawyers, recommends him for the full span of land use and infrastructure matters — particularly eminent
domain and valuation disputes — and commends his “practical, business-minded advice” and his “high
level of decorum in dealing with the other sides.” Brad has also been awarded the CRE® designation by
the Counselors of Real Estate®, an international group of real estate professionals recognized as leading
advisors in complex real property matters.

 

Some of Brad’s other accolades and recognitions include:

    attorneys that are truly agents of change” and have “made significant marks on the practice, policy
    and technological advancement of their practice.”
    • Named to the Daily Journal’s Top 20 Under 40 list, a recognition given to the top 20 lawyers in

    an industry, region or society;
    • Chosen for individual recognition by Chambers USA for Real Estate: Zoning/Land Use Law;
    • Recognized as the Top Rated Lawyer in Land Use and Zoning by the American Lawyer;
    • Named the Best Land Use/Zoning Attorney in Orange County by OC Metro/Orange County
    Register;
    • Recognized as the Best Eminent Domain Attorney by US Business News’ Legal Elite;
    • Repeatedly acknowledged on Up-and-Coming Top 25 Orange County and Up-and-Coming Top
    100 Southern California Rising Stars lists; and
    • Awarded an AV-Preeminent Rating by Martindale-Hubbell, a rating given to only those attorneys
    who exhibit the highest level of professional excellence based on a review of their peers.

 

Brad is general counsel to the International Right of Way Association (IRWA), where he has also served
as President of the Inland Empire Chapter and has been named the Professional of the Year. He is also

How to Value a Partial Acquisition (Start at the Beginning) @ Virtual
Apr 22 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

One niche in the real estate valuation sector is eminent domain. Eminent domain acquisition rights, or the ability of a government, quasi government, or utility entity to acquire property rights, is governed by the 5th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Today we will discuss the valuation and appraisal review for partial acquisitions, why it is important to understand the appraisal problem before starting research, and how the iterative process is crucial to credible assignment results. One main tenant of all valuation is for the valuer to be unbiased. The ability for valuers and appraisal reviewer’s to be impartial and objective and therefore balance the rights of property owners with the rights of all people potentially using and paying for the infrastructure.
