Farer Fersko
We are a boutique law firm, located in Westfield, New Jersey, concentrating in environmental law and brownfields cleanups, real estate and redevelopment, condemnation law and eminent domain, land use, and litigation in these focused areas of practice.

We offer premium legal services with an emphasis on client contact, and place a high value on working collaboratively with clients, colleagues, consultants and regulators to achieve innovative, practical and cost-effective solutions.

The firm has achieved national prominence due to the depth of its knowledge and experience with a wide array of environmental issues and their impact on complex transactions, cleanups and redevelopment projects.

Our lawyers are devoted to continually refining their skills, and are highly regarded for their ability to bring multi-faceted transactional, redevelopment and regulatory projects – and attendant litigation — to successful conclusions. We are prolific writers, commentators and teachers in our areas of concentration, and are widely recognized as leaders in our fields of practice.

"Chambers USA" designates David Farer, Jack Fersko, Richard Ericsson and Ann Waeger as leaders in their fields, and ranks us as a leading firm in real estate and environmental law.

David, Jack and Ann are named in "Best Lawyers in America" .
