Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell lawyers counsel airports on the environmental, noise and land use issues associated with major facility expansions, runway extensions and collateral development projects. The firm has represented some of the largest airports in the world in comprehensive master planning for long-term capital improvements and has provided comprehensive counsel for commercial, primary hub airports and general aviation airports in the planning, approval and implementation of development and infrastructure projects.
The firm's lawyers have been actively involved in the planning for most of the new commercial service airports built in the United States in the last generation. This work has called upon expertise not only in airport planning and in compliance with federal law but also expertise in drafting intergovernmental agreements, land use planning, compliance with state and local environmental regulations, public finance, contract negotiation, and, more generally, navigating the myriad legal hurdles that face complex public sector projects.
