PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Get Results For Your Road and Access Law Clients
Conflict is inevitable when it comes to road and access law and who is entitled to what. Yet when clients call you in to determine who has rights in an easement, private road or right-of-way dispute, traditional negotiating tactics can fall short. As a result, agreements blow up, cases don't settle and - too often - you end up in court. You need advanced techniques if you're to change the game from conflict to collaboration.
Take one, fast-paced day to explore the newest and best ways to provide the right advice when dealing with both public and private creations and use issues. Save time and frustration by thoroughly understanding who supervises, manages and controls highways. Handle title insurance, deeds and other transactions in ways that will hold up in court, and much more. Walk away with a proven and positive approach for addressing and resolving disputes as they arise in the volatile environment of road and access law.

  • Find out what influences the scope of the road right of way - and how it may affect your clients.
  • Be prepared to handle easement issues by knowing how private roads are created.
  • Protect clients' rights - understand the procedure for gaining access to roads.
  • Solve road access issues that arise during real estate transactions.
  • Know when to decline or terminate representation and develop a reputation for integrity.
  • Identify what red flags to look for during a title search.
  • Recognize what constitutes a valid discontinuance and how they can impact a case.
