Spiro Harrison & Nelson said Sept. 29 that Michael A. Jedziniak, who has represented New Jersey municipalities in complex affordable housing litigation, has joined the firm. Jedziniak has more than two decades of experience involving Mount Laurel litigation.
“Michael’s depth of experience in affordable housing litigation is unmatched,” said Brian M. Nelson of Spiro Harrison & Nelson. “He’s helped dozens of municipalities across New Jersey protect their interests while addressing an ever-changing regulatory landscape.”
Jedziniak built his career as one of the state’s leading attorneys in Mount Laurel litigation, having served as special counsel to more than 60 municipalities in proceedings before the former New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) and before the state’s Trial, Appellate and Supreme Court.
Much of Jedziniak’s experience was gained in the decades during which COAH’s regulations were judicially invalidated through the Legislature’s recent amendments to the Fair Housing Act. His practice focuses on helping clients navigate the legal, regulatory, and planning challenges of affordable housing obligations, redevelopment, and land-use disputes.
“I’m thrilled to join Spiro Harrison & Nelson, a firm known for its innovative approach to complex litigation,” said Jedziniak. “I look forward to leveraging my experience to continue serving New Jersey municipalities and other clients facing challenging affordable housing and land-use issues.”
Prior to joining Spiro Harrison & Nelson, Jedziniak held senior roles at several prominent New Jersey law firms, where he successfully represented towns in high-stakes negotiations and courtroom proceedings related to affordable housing, redevelopment and environmental permitting.
