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.

There is no law firm with more specialized knowledge and ability in the affordable housing arena than CHW—true experts in their field. As the process of closing deals gets continually more and more complicated, we find that it is essential to have CHW on our team to help us achieve our mission!
