SARATOGA SPRINGS - Theresa M. Skaine, formerly a partner with the law firm Lemery Greisler, LLC, has launched her own practice. Skaine & Associates, LLC, located in Saratoga Springs, focuses on corporate law, commercial real estate and not-for-profit corporate and compliance matters. 

Theresa’s experience spans 23 years in economic development, project management and corporate affairs. Her expertise also includes property development, permitting, financing and utility coordination. Theresa has played an instrumental role in the successful development of several monumental projects in the Capital Region. She managed consultants and commercial real estate transactions, guided the corporate structuring and various financing arrangements for the Luther Forest Technology Campus project.

In addition to launching Skaine & Associates, LLC, Theresa is a partner with Amanus Consulting Group, LLC.  Amanus is a consulting firm offering project development and oversight services, assistance with creation of public/private partnerships, site selection and management, infrastructure development, community and government relations, and strategic planning. “The natural progression of my career became apparent after the development of the Luther Forest Technology Campus. Working through both the consulting firm and my law practice increases the breadth of services available to the growing, dynamic companies that make up our client base,” said Skaine.

Amanus Consulting Group was created by Theresa and partner Michael Relyea.  Michael’s background includes positions as president of the Luther Forest Technology Campus Economic Development Corporation (LFTCEDC), Executive Director of the NYS Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR) and Vice President of Mercury Public Affairs, a New York City based public relations firm providing crisis communications, lobbying and strategic business development services to select clients. 

“With these services available under one roof, clients can pursue business objectives more efficiently and with a more effective result,” said Relyea. “We launched Amanus Consulting Group because we saw an opportunity to offer clients a turn-key solution to meet their needs.”

Amanus serves companies in the energy, infrastructure and manufacturing industries, federal, state and local governments, startup businesses and real estate developers.  The company is located at 36 Phila Street, Suite 4, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. For more information, visit www.amanusgroup.com
