My focus

Real Estate Development

I help clients entitle their real estate development projects including local, state, and federal approvals, and also help manage community and government relations, tax abatements, and government subsidies and funding. I am a traditional dirt lawyer, which makes my practice part law, part politics, and part grassroots organizing. It is important that I stay abreast of all relevant political issues in each region in which we work to allow us to stay in the inner circle of the government decision makers, and to always provide current and relevant advice.

Land-Use

As part of my practice, I also advise clients on and negotiate land-use agreements, including complex long-term ground and air rights leases, Massachusetts condominiums, and abutter and reciprocal easement agreements. My land use practice also includes resolving complex easement and title issues.

LIFE SCIENCES & BIOTECH DEVELOPMENT

For my sub specialty in life sciences development, I have permitted over one dozen significant life sciences developments in and around the Boston area in the last five years alone, and most recently am working to help launch a biotech venture studio with an automation/AI platform.
