Otten Johnson represents railroads, transportation and logistics companies, and clients whose development projects intersect with rail and transit infrastructure. Our real estate and land use attorneys handle acquisitions and dispositions, right-of-way negotiations and title resolution, easements, permitting, and the entitlement matters that frequently arise when transportation corridors meet private development. We also represent landowners and developers in their negotiations and interactions with railroad operators and transportation authorities.
Our business transactions attorneys lead mergers and acquisition transactions for operating railroad, transportation, and logistics businesses, working with strategic buyers, private sponsors and others to structure complex transactions and to efficiently close deals. We also assist with related equity and debt negotiations, tax structuring, and general contract drafting and business advice after the deal closes.
Our litigators handle the real estate and business disputes that arise in the railroad, transportation and logistics space, including eminent domain and condemnation proceedings, quiet title actions (including those involving mineral interests along rights-of-way), and general commercial disputes.
