Railroads and Real Estate: A Review of Railroad and Real Estate Law in Virginia
Joe Jagdmann, Shaun Lundy
Do you know the rich history of railroads in Virginia? Did you know that Virginia is currently at the dawn of a new era of railroads and public transportation? In this presentation, we will discuss the history of railroads and corresponding real estate law that has developed in the Commonwealth and nationwide since the 1800s. We will discuss issues involving railroad titles and various issues involving railroad rights-of-way in Virginia. Lastly, we will discuss the emergence of the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA), its enabling act, and the VPRA’s ambitious goal to connect the entire Commonwealth with public rail transportation.
Ethical Considerations and Risks of Artificial Intelligence
Tom Dunlap
An overview of the use of artificial intelligence in legal practice, addressing both practical application and ethical implications. The presentation will discuss and highlight the ethical risks and responsibilities associated with its use to ensure AI tools are used effectively and responsibly and to help protect your client’s information when using AI.
Powering Data Centers: Generation Sources and Transmission
Glenn Davis, Cody Murphey, Stephen Romine, Tyler Rosá
An overview of energy issues with more in-depth discussion of offshore wind use, utility-scale solar use, and data center energy regulation.
Resilience and Real Estate in Virginia
Thomas Ruppert
A look at the physical realities driving the need for resilience strategies in Virginia. We will review impacts on real estate markets, local government finance, insurance, and bond & mortgage markets. The presentation will look at how we have historically addressed flooding risk through structural measures, and why this has not always worked. It will end with potential avenues forward for communities and ways for real estate professionals to adapt their approach to business.
Local and Regional Solutions for Affordable Housing
Richard Tucker
A discussion of projects that work, and maybe some that haven’t been as effective, as well as what the future may hold to generate more affordable housing throughout Virginia.
Conservation Easements—Practical Considerations for Purchasing and Selling Conserved Property
Jack Hanssen, Regina Petruzzi Neumann
This session provides suggestions and insights on how to add value when aiding clients who are purchasing or selling property with a conservation easement. We will discuss common issues that arise when transferring ownership subject to conservation restrictions. By the end of this session, you will have proven strategies to help identify potential issues before sale, best practices for deed drafting requirements, and to navigate your clients through the transactional process.
Protecting the Client Against Real Estate Fraud
Kevin Pogoda, Hayden-Anne Breedlove
Real estate fraud in both residential and commercial transactions continues to rise, arguably being the greatest source of injury to purchasers, sellers, and the settlement attorneys who help them. Applicable state statutes, ethical rules of professional conduct, and industry standards require the real estate practitioner to protect the client against such attacks. This solutions-oriented presentation will review the latest fraud schemes and how to stop them, including identity theft, the many forms of phishing, and technological attacks—and how the rise of AI can both help and hurt the practitioner.
