Services
Few governmental controls affect as many people as local land use restrictions.
We help guide our clients to administer, move through, or operate within these constraints.
We represent public and private-sector clients in a range of natural resource conservation and environmental protection matters, arising under federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
As energy technology evolves, demand patterns change, and local impacts manifest, the need increases to put each new energy proposal through rigorous review.

Local government is our most democratic institution.
It is the role of municipal lawyers to help make local government work in an open, ethical and accessible way.
To that end, we provide advice and guidance on the application of the Open Meeting Law, the Public Records Law and the State Ethics Law.
We work with Town officials to produce participatory Town Meetings, successful board and committee decision making, and rock-solid permitting outcomes.
We have drafted or amended hundreds of zoning and general bylaws, ordinances, regulations, charters and special acts.

Perhaps the strongest manifestation of community autonomy is the control exercised by cities and towns over local land use and development.
We have participated in countless public hearings of local permitting boards, and devote a significant portion of our practice to interpreting and explaining the proper application of the Zoning Act, the Subdivision Control Act, the Comprehensive Permit Statute (Chapter 40B), and the Smart Growth and Housing Production Act (Chapter 40R) for our clients in all venues, including court.

In addition to our reputation in municipal law generally, we are probably best known for our expertise in environmental controversies.
We have represented public and private-sector clients in a wide range of natural resource conservation and environmental protection matters, arising under federal, state, and local laws and regulations pertaining to wetlands protection, water quality and management issues, air emissions, odor control, toxic and hazardous materials, noise abatement and control, traffic mitigation, public nuisances, noisome trades and site assignments, and environmental impact analysis.

Technology that was once celebrated as "clean" is now the subject of controversy.
Major energy facilities place extraordinary burdens on communities that host them and local cooperation and support can no longer be assumed.
However, pre-construction permitting decisions are typically made not at the local level, but by state and federal authorities.
