- Performing ISRA compliance for an international real estate investment management firm triggered by a billion dollar transaction involving multiple industrial properties;
- Procuring nearly 100% insurance coverage for a former family-owned business cleaning up soil and groundwater contamination from old underground storage tanks; and
