Miller Nash LLP has been awarded Project of the Year by the International Right of Way Association (IRWA) Puget Sound Chapter at the IRWA Puget Sound Chapter’s annual dinner and awards ceremony on June 14, 2023.
The Miller Nash team obtained a unanimous jury verdict matching the client’s valuation evidence exactly in a multi-week, 30-party, 100-percent virtual condemnation trial. The client needed to acquire the right to amend restrictive covenants to allow it to construct and operate its light rail project and the total valuation dispute was more than $5.5 million in just compensation.
