Nixon Peabody will represent Erie County when it negotiates a new lease for Ralph Wilson Stadium this year.
County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz announced Friday that his staff had chosen the law firm from 13 companies that submitted proposals to serve as special outside counsel for lease talks with the Buffalo Bills.
“We were impressed by Nixon Peabody’s tremendous amount of experience in these sorts of negotiations, including work on 10 previous NFL stadiums,” Poloncarz said in a written statement.
The 15-year lease for the county-owned stadium expires in July 2013, but Poloncarz has said he would like to have a deal in place by the start of training camp this summer.
