Although the border between the United States and Mexico stretches almost 2,000 miles and is one of the most frequently traversed borders in the world, most of the United Sates/Mexico border had no significant, lengthy physical impediment to crossing until the early 2000s.
In this Webinar, we will discuss the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which spurred the coordinated construction of roughly 600 miles of physical border barriers, and the related REAL ID Act that allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to waive many of the federal environmental statutes that are ordinarily required with any other major federal project.
The webinar will also discuss the practical, logistical, and legal challenges of condemning private property for the construction of border barrier structures and what to expect as the current Presidential administration moves forward with the construction of additional border barriers on the United States/Mexico border.
Lastly, for those particularly interested in public law and intergovernmental partnerships, we will discuss an example of legal issues implicated by local/federal cooperation in the construction of the border barriers following the Secure Fence Act of 2006 that lead to the filing of inverse condemnation claims.

Practical Law has completed the ninth annual edition of its annual survey of remedies for buyer breach in public M&A transactions. The study examines the remedies available to public target companies for a buyer’s failure to close a debt-financed transaction as a result of a financing failure or the buyer's own breach of the merger agreement.
This year's study examined the reverse break-up fees, enforcement remedies and financing covenants in 77 public company merger agreements for debt-financed deals from 2017 with an equity value of at least $100 million.
