The Transportation, Construction and Condemnation Section provides representation and counsel to the Department of Transportation (“DOT”), the Motor Vehicle Commission and the Division of Property Management & Construction in the Department of the Treasury with respect to transportation, construction and maintenance projects (roads, bridges and buildings), eminent domain and real property issues. Representing these agencies involves litigation and counseling as well as transactional work. The Deputies represent their State agency clients in the Superior Court, Law Division and Appellate Division; the New Jersey Supreme Court; the New Jersey Office of Administrative Law; and occasionally in federal district court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Deputies assigned to construction litigation and condemnation litigation matters handle every aspect of preparing a case for trial, including working with the State’s experts, defending against the opponent’s experts, substantive motion practice and settlement negotiations. For more complex litigation matters, deputies may work in teams.

The TCC Section also provides ongoing legal counsel to State agencies and to multiple commissions on a wide range of statutory and regulatory matters. Deputies typically have the opportunity to become well versed in one or more of the specialty areas that our client agencies regulate including, State highway access design, outdoor advertising (billboards and other signs) and aeronautics approvals. On the transactional side, Deputies in this section advise State agencies regarding procurement issues and review a variety of agreements between their client agencies and other private parties or other governmental entities to ensure statutory and regulatory compliance and to ensure the State’s and the public’s interests are protected in the agreements. Agreements include developer, contractor, consultant, local transportation aid, and park and ride agreements. Deputies also review proposed regulations and may assist in drafting legislation and regulations to implement new programs.
