Telecommunications and ROW/Easement Practice
The Telecommunications and ROW/Easement Practice attorneys have a broad range of experience with structuring, negotiating, drafting and executing telecommunications ROW documentation in the context of various transactions such as the acquisition of telecommunications assets, the purchase of interests held by an owner trust and the extension of a telecommunications asset lease. RDBA ROW/easement experience includes the execution of county recordings in numerous counties in several states throughout the U.S. The firm’s vast and diverse body of ROW and easement documentation experience in such a large number of counties and states has generated a wealth of county recording knowledge, relationships and techniques specific to the unique recording requirements and nuances from county to county. RDBA’s vast county recording knowledge and extensive track record of county recording success is a valuable asset that can provide real value add to a telecommunications industry company or investor with ROW/easement documentation and county recording needs.
Recently, RDBA attorneys negotiated and executed end of sale-leaseback financing transfers of easement rights for a Fortune 500 telecommunications lessee client in the context of three different end-of-lease retention strategies whereby the lessee purchased the assets, the lessee purchased the beneficial interest in the owner trust that controlled the assets under the sale-leaseback financing and the lessee extended the lease of the telecommunications assets.
RDBA has managed the successful termination and amendment of over 950 ROW/easement county recordings in more than 100 counties in 17 states throughout the U.S., including structuring and drafting amendment and termination documents as well as researching county recording requirements, recording and transfer tax requirements and recording fee structures.
