Boylan Brown's senior partner, John M. Wilson, II, Esq., is one of the original environmental lawyers in Western New York to try cases involving the SEQRA (State Environmental Quality Review Act). His efforts have resulted in significant court opinions that have dramatically affected New York State 's environmental laws. The extensive and successful litigation experience of our environmental law and land use practice group means that we have dealt with environmental issues from many different perspectives; from property contamination to clean up, permits and consent orders. Our work on environmental issues is not confined to the courtroom - we have also successfully negotiated many agreements on behalf of our clients.

The environmental lawyers at Boylan Brown counsel clients on current state and federal environmental law as well as anticipated regulatory changes. We assist our clients in keeping abreast of environmental regulatory requirements and developments by remaining in constant touch with legislators, agencies and ongoing court actions.

Brownfield sites (abandoned or underutilized commercial/industrial/military land where there is a possibility of environmental contamination) can pose legal difficulties for owners, potential buyers, municipalities and developers. The environmental lawyers of Boylan Brown have experience in assisting all parties to negotiate the contracts, permits, agreements, assessments, orders and other items required to successfully complete a brownfield project. We are proud of the environmental, economic and social benefits enjoyed by Rochester and the State of New York as a result of the efforts put forth by our Rochester attorneys.

Recognized as a leader in land use and zoning issues, Boylan Brown serves as counsel to regional water and sewer public authorities, as well as many high-profile infrastructure projects. Our environmental lawyers routinely work with public and private organizations to achieve the zoning and agreements required for successful industrial and commercial development.

Our environmental lawyers also work closely with our clients to ensure that all the steps required to obtain environmental and land use project approval are taken. We help our clients with preparation, applications, permits, impact studies, and we represent them before municipalities and government agencies. We are also very capable of defending project approvals in court if the need arises.
