Legal Services

The Connecticut Port Authority (CPA) is soliciting proposals from qualified law firms to serve as its in‑house legal counsel. The selected firm will provide comprehensive legal services covering maritime, administrative, and business law matters related to the Authority’s operations, contracts, regulatory compliance, and any litigation or advisory needs. The engagement is intended to be a standing relationship, allowing the Authority to rely on a single firm for consistent, expert counsel across all its activities. • Provide ongoing legal advice to CPA leadership and staff. • Draft, review, and negotiate contracts, agreements, and procurement documents. • Represent CPA in administrative hearings, regulatory proceedings, and litigation. • Advise on maritime law, port operations, environmental compliance, and related statutes. • Deliver timely legal opinions, risk assessments, and policy recommendations. • Maintain confidentiality and conflict‑of‑interest safeguards. • Potentially serve as lead counsel for any major projects or disputes involving the Authority.
