Before joining Wilentz in 2019, Ms. Seslar handled environmental and land use matters throughout New Jersey and New York. She has extensive experience with state and federal environmental remediation, including CERCLA/Superfund litigation and allocations, as well as environmental permitting and regulatory compliance involving wetlands, coastal/CAFRA areas, riparian/tidelands law, and flood hazard areas.

In 2019, she wrote “Protections Extended to Townhouse Owners Seeking to Rebuild After Sandy,” published by the New Jersey Law Journal, about the Flood Hazard Area Control Act amendments and the Gross v. Iannuzzi precedent-setting court ruling that allows reconstruction of Superstorm Sandy-damaged properties to flood-safety standards without municipal approval.
