Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis LLP has elevated five attorneys on its real estate and environmental teams as part of a flurry of promotions to start the year.
According to a news release, Michael J. Coskey, Conor J. Hennessey, David C. Scott and Fay L. Szakal are now partners with the Woodbridge-based firm. Meantime, Lauren A. Perrella now holds the position of counsel after her own promotion.
Greenbaum noted that Coskey represents clients in the acquisition, disposition and leasing of commercial and multifamily residential properties and the development and redevelopment of real estate. He also has significant experience representing litigants in complex property tax appeals for more than a dozen asset classes, while he advises clients on issues involving valuation, exemptions, abatements and farmland assessment qualifications.
Hennessey, meantime, is a commercial litigator focused on real estate transactions, real estate brokerage law, business disputes, commercial contract actions, consumer fraud act claims, professional malpractice cases and high-stakes personal injury cases involving premises liability and medical malpractice, the news release said. He has significant experience in real estate brokerage law — including the litigation and mediation of business disputes on behalf of brokerages and claims brought against real estate licensees — having represented brokers and salespersons before the New Jersey Real Estate Commission and local real estate boards.
Also rising to partner is Scott, whose environmental law practice emphasizes transactions, permitting and regulatory compliance, the news release said. He provides counsel on environmental risks associated with real estate and business transactions and methods for mitigating those risks, while assisting solid waste service vendors in obtaining A-901 licenses, representing clients in mergers, divestitures, acquisitions and the purchase and sale of real estate properties and assisting in brownfield redevelopment projects and transactions at former industrial and commercial facilities.
Szakal, for her part, is part of Greenbaum’s corporate, real estate and health care departments, with a focus on drafting and negotiating corporate agreements and contracts, including those related to mergers and acquisitions of business entities, corporate and company formation, real estate and redevelopment matters and other transactions. She has experience closing multimillion-dollar development deals involving multiple parties and complicated transactional issues related to organizing and operating newly formed companies.
Perrella, among those rising to the counsel position, represents clients in connection with the acquisition, disposition, leasing and financing of industrial, office, retail, multifamily and mixed-use properties, the news release said. She provides guidance throughout all stages of a transaction, from contracting through due diligence, financing, construction and closing.
The promotions are effective Jan. 1, Greenbaum wrote earlier this week. Also rising to partner are litigation attorneys Jessica M. Carroll and Charles J. Vaccaro, while family law attorney Lisa B. DiPasqua was among those promoted to counsel.
