Schenck, Price, Smith & King LLP continues its growth trajectory with the addition of Ryan Windels as an associate in the firm’s Land Use and Redevelopment Practice Group. The move reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to expanding its expertise and capacity to serve a diverse range of clients in New Jersey.
Windels brings a wide array of experience to the firm, with a practice that focuses on land use, redevelopment and commercial real estate. His background includes representing both private and public sector clients in legal matters related to contracts, employment, and general liability.
Before joining Schenck Price, Windels served as an associate corporate counsel for a full-service solar energy company, where he provided legal and regulatory guidance for the renewable energy sector. His career also includes a role as regional director in the New Jersey Governor’s Office, where he gained valuable experience in public affairs and state-level governance. This diverse professional background gives him a unique perspective on the legal and regulatory challenges facing the firm’s clients.
According to John E. Ursin, Managing Partner of Schenck Price, the firm is “continuing its expansion with the addition of terrific young attorneys like Ryan Windels.” Ursin praised Windels’s broad experience and strong ties to the community, noting that he “fits in perfectly at the firm.” The addition of Windels is the latest in a series of strategic hires as Schenck Price works to bolster its key practice groups.
Windels’s expertise in land use and redevelopment is particularly relevant in New Jersey, a state with complex zoning and regulatory environments. His experience representing municipalities and private developers will be a valuable asset to clients navigating the approval process for large and small projects. The firm’s Land Use and Redevelopment Practice Group has a long history of success in this area, handling everything from residential and commercial site plans to environmental issues and redevelopment applications.
This new hire underscores Schenck Price’s dedication to building a team that combines legal expertise with a deep understanding of the local and state landscape.
