Nevada Eminent Domain
Eminent domain matters require balancing the government’s authority to acquire private property for public use with a property owner’s right to just compensation.
Amy Sugden brings experience from both sides of the condemnation process. From 2007 through 2011, Amy worked as part of the outside-counsel team representing NV Energy in property acquisition and eminent domain matters. Since then, Amy has represented landowners affected by government takings.
That dual perspective provides insight into how acquiring entities evaluate property, structure offers, and litigate compensation. Amy’s experience includes matters involving NV Energy, the City of Henderson, the City of Las Vegas, Clark County, and the Nevada Department of Transportation.
