Strengths
Their strategy has always been premised on sound legal advice that is considerate of targets that we need to hit as a team.
Carmody's strengths are its responsiveness to our questions and needs, deep understanding of public policy and finance at the local and state levels and understanding of not only the law and contracts, but also how complex bureaucracies work and how we must work within them.
Work Highlights
Carmody acted for Sun Homes on the renovation of a 130,000 square foot office building situated directly on Long Island Sound in Stamford, Connecticut, which included rewriting zoning regulations to allow the conversion, rezoning the property and site plan approval, special permit approval and coastal site plan approval.
Notable practitioners
William Hennessey Jr is well known for his expertise on the city of Stamford. He handles zoning and land use matters for residential, industrial and office properties, among others.
He is absolutely terrific on zoning. He is candid and will tell us if something is not going to work. Having someone like him is a real blessing.
