With respect to wind projects, our environmental attorneys have worked on projects throughout New York State, including Lackawanna, Cortland, Steuben, Herkimer and Ontario Counties. In permitting the projects, they have faced local citizen opposition involving claims such as nuisance, property devaluation, noise, visual impacts and health effects claimed to be attributable to "wind turbine syndrome", and they have very strong relationships with wind industry consultants and experts also experienced in these issues.
You should also be aware that our environmental and energy practice does more than practice traditional energy law. In fact, we represent energy companies in matters involving state and federal environmental laws, labor and employment law, real property tax assessments, transactional matters such as purchase and sale of real property and facilities, project finance, governmental relations, construction law and general litigation.
