A New Face for Atlantic Yards
The Real Estate Observer
Bu Matthew Schuerman
Yesterday, prior to the appeals court hearing, the Empire State Development Corporation's (ESDC) Board was:
expected to appoint a new lawyer to represent the agency on the Atlantic Yards project, until a dispute over the former lawyer, David Paget, is resolved.
...
Atlantic Yards opponents contend that Paget had a conflict of interest, since he earlier represented the developer, Forest City Ratner.Daniel Goldstein, spokesman for Develop—Don’t Destroy Brooklyn writes in an e-mail: “Their main argument for their appeal was that they couldn't find a new lawyer. Apparently that is specious.”
