Vested Rights: Today's Local Government Issues

Free Webinar sponsored by Sands Anderson PC's Local Government Practice Group

May 19, 2010, noon

If you are a local government attorney, official or staff person concerned with vested rights, please attend our a free two hour Webinar. Our panel will feature former Deputy County Attorney and Legislative Liaison for Fairfax County, Karen Harwood, a partcipant in all of the major General Assembly efforts related to vested rights who has a unique perspective on the issues, plus Andrew McRoberts, Ann Neil Cosby and Annemarie Cleary of the Sands Anderson local government team.

There have been significant developments in the law of vested rights in the last year -- Hale and Crucible decisions by the Virginia Supreme Court, HB 1250 adopted by the Virginia General Assembly, the latter referencing the unusual statutory estoppel provision of Virginia Code § 15.2-2311(C).

The panel will take a focused look at the law of vested rights, where it's been, where we think it is now. You can join the Webinar conveniently over your office PC, you may certainly sign up and show it with other staff in your conference room and, if you are close to Richmond, we will have a limited number of seats in our Web-enabled conference facility in our new Richmond offices at the Bank of America Building, 1111 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219.

• Major Vested Rights Cases
• Major Actions by General Assembly
• Breakdown of HB 1250
• "Final" Zoning Administrator's Determinations
• Estoppel/Vesting under 15.2-2311(C)
