The Municipal Law Group brings practical, first-hand experience to its clients to help communities better serve their citizens. We have one of the most seasoned team of municipal lawyers in the Mid Atlantic region, many of whom are officials in their own communities.

Florio Perrucci Steinhardt & Fader offers a comprehensive range of practice areas that complement municipalities. We engage our Labor and Employment Group to manage personnel-related issues, including labor negotiations and compliance with state and federal employment laws. Our Environmental Group works closely with public entities to ensure that projects meet environmental regulations. Our Construction and Public Contract Group assists in the management of capital projects large and small as well as procedures to analyze bids for municipal work. Our Land Use and Real Estate Group works seamlessly with municipalities on zoning changes and all land use matters. Our Government and Regulatory Affairs Group helps municipalities and school boards correctly interpret and respond to complex rules, regulations, protocols and laws. And our experienced Litigation Group resolves difficult municipal issues through a variety of avenues, including trials and out-of-court settlements.

We are skilled in advising our municipal and school board clients in day-to-day matters as well as complex matters such as competitive bidding procedures, smart growth development, the Highlands and Pinelands Acts, zoning changes and restrictions, and election laws.

In addition to our expertise representing public entities, our attorneys provide expert services to private clients who require assistance in negotiations, land use and zoning, regulatory and contractual issues with government agencies and organizations, including state, county and local.

The Municipal Law Group uses the vast resources of several key members of Florio Perrucci Steinhardt & Fader -- former New Jersey Governor Jim Florio; Paul Fader who was Chief Counsel to New Jersey Governors McGreevey and Codey, and Mayor Emeritus of Englewood, N.J.; Doug Steinhardt who is chairman of the Warren County, N.J., Republican Committee and Mayor of Lopatcong Township, N.J.; Mark Peck who is Mayor of Bloomsbury, N.J., and Brian Tipton who is Mayor of Harmony Township.
