Article by Partners Brian R. Sahn and Aaron Gershonowitz Featured in Latest Issue of Nassau Lawyer
Partners Brian R. Sahn & Aaron Gerhonowitz have published an article in the latest issue of the Nassau Lawyer.

Summarizing one of the main points of the article, Sahn and Gershonowitz explain, ""The DEC has begun to focus on vapor intrusion as a significant problem not only at sites that are undergoing remediation, but also at and around sites at which remediation has been completed. The application of this new policy has resulted in the installation of remediation systems in private homes that are near contaminated sites, the use of vapor barriers or venting systems in construction of new buildings and the reopening by the regulators of remediated sites.""

Brian R. Sahn concentrates his practice in all facets of commercial real estate transactions, including purchase and sale agreements, acquisition financing, industrial development transactions, commercial lease agreements and real estate service agreements. Mr. Sahn has represented several large public and private companies in the management, development, disposition and acquisition of their real estate holdings, frequently involving complex environmental, title and facilities problems. He has represented defense contractors in facility closures and divestitures, and in negotiations with local redevelopment agencies and municipal representatives. Mr. Sahn also represents institutional lenders in commercial real estate and multi-family loan transactions.

Aaron Gershonowitz concentrates his practice in environmental law and has represented clients in a wide variety of environmental issues, including Superfund matters, RCRA compliance, asbestos in buildings, and the environmental aspects of real estate and corporate transactions. Additionally, Mr. Gershonowitz’s practice has included the representation of military contractors with regard to closure of facilities, transfer of facilities, and the related negotiations with the United States government and other local governmental agencies.
