About William
William J. Ward
Mr. Ward's practice has been focused mainly on condemnation of property by Eminent Domain. As Deputy Attorney General, New Jersey Department of Transportation from 1971 to 1974, he was assigned to the acquisition of rights-of-way for state highways and gave administrative advice to the Division of Construction and Maintenance. From 1974 to 1982, he was General Counsel and Secretary to the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, where he handled all the condemnation litigation for the acquisition of the 715 acres that comprise the Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. As General Counsel, he also gave administrative advice on other matters including construction, labor and leases on major facilities, and negotiations with unions, franchisees, and vendors. From 1982 to 2002, Mr. Ward was a senior partner with Waters, McPherson, McNeill, P.C., where he directed the Eminent Domain department, supervised all the attorneys in the practice, and represented property owners exclusively against the New Jersey Department of Transportation and other condemning authorities in condemnation actions, state highway access permits, and relocation assistance matters.
