He also advises on brownfield redevelopment, financial tools for cleanup projects, contaminated real estate, and related land use requirements. Before joining Jordan Ramis, he practiced civil litigation in New York City, spent almost twelve years as an enforcement attorney with the U.S. EPA, and later worked in environmental litigation practices in California and Portland.
