Svend Brandt-Erichsen’s SunZia Win Highlighted
Svend Brandt-Erichsen’s recent win for SunZia was highlighted in the Law360 piece, “Ariz. Tribes Lose Bid To Block SunZia Power Line Project” (subsription needed). The article states SunZia achieved a victory when an “Arizona federal judge…rejected a request by Native American tribes and environmentalists to block work on SunZia's $10 billion transmission line in a southeastern valley known for its historic and cultural significance, finding that their claims are likely time-barred by a six-year statute of limitations that began in 2015.” It continues, “In a 22-page order, U.S. District Judge Jennifer G. Zipps refused to issue a preliminary injunction that would have halted construction of a 550-mile high-voltage transmission line along a 50-mile stretch in Arizona's San Pedro Valley near the U.S.-Mexico border.” Law360 closes the article by noting that Svend was the lead counsel on the case for SunZia and was assisted by Brian Imbornoni.
