TROY, NY – March 6, 2025 – Young/Sommer LLC, New York’s leading boutique energy and environmental law firm, is excited to announce its new, state-of-the-art office at 500 Federal Street in Troy, New York. Located in the heart of Troy, near River Street and steps from the Hudson River, the Firm is thrilled to join the business community in Troy, which includes renewable energy developers, technology companies, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. This move reflects the Firm’s long-term vision to continue to grow and attract talented individuals seeking to serve its clients with innovative, solution-driven legal services.

For over 25 years, Young/Sommer LLC has been a leader in the Capital Region and New York State, providing legal counsel to clients ranging from large energy corporations to municipalities, commercial developers, telecommunications companies, small businesses, and government agencies. With the new office space, the firm is poised to enhance its ability to serve clients more efficiently and effectively while offering a modern, collaborative environment for its growing team of 25 attorneys.

“We are thrilled to usher in a new chapter in our firm’s history,” said Rob Panasci, managing partner of Young/Sommer LLC. “The new location at 500 Federal Street offers increased space and visibility in a vibrant area of the Capital Region. Many law firms are leaving the cities, but we see a strategic opportunity and are excited for our staff, attorneys, and clients to experience the advantages Troy has to offer. We look forward to hosting events, client meetings, and joining the business community here.”

The new office features cutting-edge technology, sustainable design elements, and convenient access to the nearby social scene, as well as unparalleled views of the Hudson River. “With its historic brick buildings, brownstone homes, and thriving small businesses, Troy is the perfect setting for Young/Sommer’s extensive experience and deep history in the Capital Region. Troy has  become the area of operations for several sustainable energy developers and consulting firms, and we feel this is a natural location to set up our main office,” said Panasci.

While the firm is relocating its main offices to Troy, New York, it is also proud to maintain its history and presence in Albany as a government/regulatory-based practice. The Firm will continue to service clients at its new satellite office located in Downtown Albany at 41 State Street.
