Anthony C. Pasca  Partner

Anthony Pasca joined the firm in 1998 and has been a partner since 2006.  He maintains active litigation, municipal/land use, and real estate practices.

In his general litigation practice, Anthony represents individuals, businesses, landowners, farmers, and municipalities in such areas as title disputeszoning, environmental, and municipal law, and contested real estate transactions.  Some of his appeals have resulted in opinions that serve as important precedent within their areas of law, including zoning and “SEQRA” issues, contract disputes over downpayments and “specific performance,” and inverse condemnation (regulatory takings) claims.

Through “Article 78” proceedings, which are special proceedings used to challenge governmental decisions, Anthony has helped clients overturn more than 30 decisions from a range of town, village, and state agencies, including the

  • NY State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Department of Transportation (DOT)
  • East Hampton Town Zoning Board, Planning Board, and Town Board
  • Southampton Town Zoning Board, Planning Board, Trustees, and Coastal Erosion Board
  • Southold Town Zoning Board, Planning Board, and Trustees
  • Brookhaven Town Board
  • East Hampton Village Zoning Board
  • Greenport Village Trustees
  • Southampton Village ZBA and Planning Board and
  • Dering Harbor Village ZBA and Building Inspector.

At the same time, Anthony is often called upon to defend his clients’ permits and work with the respective Town, Village, and State attorneys to coordinate a defense to those proceedings.

Anthony’s land use practice benefits from his dual perspective as municipal and private counsel.  On the public side,  he has served as Village Attorney for Westhampton Beach since 2014, and has represented other municipalities as special counsel.  On the private side, he represents landowners who are seeking variances from zoning boards, site plan or subdivision approvals from planning boards, wetland and coastal erosion permits from conservation or “CEHA” boards, environmental decisions under SEQRA, and other land use approvals.

As a real estate attorney, Anthony represents buyers, sellers, and builders of residential homes and parcels in the Hamptons.  Relying on his experience from his land use and litigation practices, Anthony works to protect his clients from the contractual, title, zoning, and environmental issues that can often arise in the Hamptons’ unique markets.  His land use and title experience also enables him to assist buyers with their due diligence prior to entering into contracts.

Originally from Long Island, Anthony attended Cornell University before returning to study law on a full-tuition academic grant at Hofstra University School of Law, where he also served on the Hofstra Law Review.

Anthony has received Martindale Hubbell’s highest “AV” rating from its peer review process, as well as its selection as a Top Rated Lawyer in Litigation, Land Use and Zoning, and Appellate Law.  Since 2014, he has been included in Thompson Reuters’ list of NY Metro Area “Super Lawyers.”
