Good Faith Negotiations & Landowner Relationships


A Half-Day Classroom Seminar (CPE Approved)

Register Soon to get Early Bird Pricing.

This is a presentation of issues and solutions on how to develop and maintain positive landowner relationships while negotiating in good faith for pipeline, electric transmission, wind and solar, rail and public sector projects. Whether you are pursuing site leasing, site purchase, easements, right of ways and/or workspace, and whether coming from the perspective of Project Management, Design Engineering, Environmental, Appraising, Permitting, Survey, Right of Way, Inspections, Construction, Operations, and others, this presentation is a must in helping ensure a successful project, on time and on budget with happy landowners.

This seminar will assist you to learn about good faith negotiations and landowner relationships. Due to the increase in activity in the energy industry, it has become progressively more important for all professionals to be highly sensitive to landowners and any and all stakeholders and their needs, concerns and issues. Whether they are legal, environmental, aesthetic, social or cultural issues, the relationships we establish will set the tone of the project and can make the experience pleasant for the landowners, developers, engineers and all other consultants. These common sense approaches and processes are based on the psychology of healthy human relationships in work situations, and skills learned can have major impact as to whether or not your project will be a success
