Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer

Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer combines ‘detailed technical knowledge’ with a ’very commercial approach’ in the course of its land use practice. The firm advises private developers, investors and cultural institutions – high caliber clients on its books include Harry Winston Inc., The Madison Square Garden Company, and the Cohen Brothers Realty Corporation. The department is led by Paul Selver, who advises public and private clients on zoning, environmental and historic preservation regulations; alongside fellow co-chair Elise Wagner, who is often consulted on use change and enlargement approvals. James Power and special counsel Eugene C. Travers are well-versed in zoning and municipal law as well as environmental review processes. Valerie Campbell‘s work often involves the reuse and alternation of historic or landmark sites; she recently advised the Flatiron Owner LLC on repurposing the famous Flatiron Building into residential apartments above ground floor level. The practice and its attorneys are all based in New York.
