Cannon Heyman & Weiss, LLP opened for business in April of 2001 to represent clients throughout New York State and across the country.
Prior to forming CHW, Geoff Cannon, Steve Heyman, and Steven Weiss met in the 1990s and got to know each other as “friendly competitors” sitting on opposing sides of various transactions.
In the fall of 2000, this familiarity and respect for each other’s work led them to meet and plan to form their own firm. From the outset, the heart of CHW’s success and growth has been the founding partners’ chemistry and complementary strengths, from technical skills to marketing to staff training to firm administration. Today, Steve Heyman and Geoff Cannon continue with CHW as Senior Counsel and Steven Weiss is Managing Partner.
Growing with the times and growing with our clients
Shown below are CHW’s partners, many of whom have been with the firm for a decade or more. These attorneys lead a team of many other attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff who work both virtually and in person in our offices in Albany and Buffalo, New York. Together, the CHW team serves several hundred clients in the affordable housing and community development sections.
“
I recommend CHW without reservation to any organization that requires legal services in the financing of community development projects. I have found the various offices of the firm to be well-integrated and knowledgeable of the most recent financing guidelines of both state and city agencies including the New York City area.
