utilities

We have provided real estate opinions in connection with San Diego Gas & Electric's $100/$300 Million series of mortgage bonds under a longstanding mortgage trust indenture. We performed extensive due diligence in connection with the SEC-registered offering, including review of utility franchises, detailed review of title records, examination of trust indentures, acquisition documents, personal property liens and securities documents.

We have an extensive history in representing MTA and its predecessors. Areas of assistance include environmental and hazardous waste issues; the interface of County and municipal powers vis a vis the agency’s legislative grants; street improvements and utility rearrangements. In fact, we have drafted and negotiated over 100 interagency agreements for the MTA and others with utility companies, sanitation districts, cities, the county and CalTrans as needed for the construction of their public works projects.
