Kurt Steinhouse is an attorney with the U.S. Planning and Zoning Practice of international law firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner. He focuses his practice on all aspects of land use, zoning, and real estate development in New York City.

Before joining the firm, Kurt served as general counsel to the New York City Board of Standards and Appeals, where he worked on numerous complex projects involving residential, commercial, and community facility development and advised city agencies and the private sector on New York’s reticulated zoning, construction codes, and environmental review requirements. He drafted hundreds of resolutions for board adoption, participated in public hearings, developed litigation strategy, and oversaw outside counsel defending the city in litigation. Kurt also coordinated with governmental agencies and officials and represented the agency before the New York City Council.

Kurt also worked as an assistant general counsel with the New York City Department of Buildings, where he represented the agency in interpretive appeals before the Board of Standards and Appeals, and as a postgraduate fellow in the legal department of New York City Economic Development Corporation.
