West Group Law

What West Group Law does

West Group Law PLLC is a boutique infrastructure law firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in White Plains, New York, with seven offices across five Northeastern states (NY, MA, CT, PA, RI). The firm provides legal counsel to municipal governments, public authorities, and county agencies on infrastructure matters, organized across six practice areas (Public-Private Partnerships, Procurement, Litigation, Municipal Law, Real Estate and Commercial Lending, and Construction) and five sector specializations (Water/Wastewater, Solid Waste, Energy, Civic/Social Infrastructure, and Shared Services/Consolidation). Its core differentiator is the concentration of attorneys who previously held senior in-house government positions — including former town managers, city attorneys, and municipal solicitors — enabling the firm to serve as both legal advisor and operational translator for public-entity clients.

The firm's service portfolio spans the full project lifecycle, from enabling legislation and procurement structuring through contract negotiation, regulatory compliance (including PFAS and environmental matters), construction claims, and litigation. Marquee engagements include representation of Nassau County, NY on the potential $4.5 billion Las Vegas Sands redevelopment of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, a $3 billion NYU Langone hospital campus development, and a $229 million Coliseum public-private partnership, as well as lead counsel for an unnamed Northeast capital city's ~$300 million public schools improvement program. Collectively, the Managing Partner has assisted on infrastructure projects exceeding $10 billion in value.

West Group Law operates as a privately held professional services partnership under a professional-services revenue model, with revenue generated through attorney billable hours and fixed-fee arrangements. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by direct attorney-client relationships, professional-association leadership (IMLA, MMLA, DBIA, CAASNY), conference speaking engagements, and webinar programming. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no proprietary technology platform, and no AI/ML capabilities; competitive advantage rests entirely on attorney talent, former-government experience, and accumulated relationship capital within the municipal-law ecosystem.
