Artin’s skillset will add immediate value for our clients, and we are excited to have him join our team.”

Nossaman’s Eminent Domain and Valuation Practice Group is one of the most prominent practice groups of its kind in California. Its attorneys have represented public agencies, property owners and business owners on some of the largest eminent domain and valuation cases in the state, and the most high-profile public works projects that shape California’s infrastructure.

Mr. Shaverdian joined Nossaman because of the firm’s stellar reputation and deep bench of talented attorneys.
