Other Expertise
My legal practice focuses on Massachusetts real estate development, land use, and zoning/permitting. I primarily represent developers, entrepreneurs, and landowners in the context of residential and commercial land use permitting, development, and construction.
My primary specialization is the permitting and development of affordable housing under Chapter 40B, Mass. General Laws. In this field, I am one of a handful of go-to attorneys in with the specialized knowledge, experience, and knowhow to guide a Chapter 40B development from concept to shovels in the ground, with a recent development portfolio of approved projects throughout Eastern Massachusetts and Greater Boston. I previously worked under my mentor, Theodore C. Regnante, Esq. – the unofficial Dean of Chapter 40B.
In addition, I also work in the following areas:
• Zoning/permitting under MGL Ch. 40A and the Boston Zoning Code
• Subdivision Control Law and Approval-Not-Required (ANR) permitting
• Site Plan Review/MBTA Communities permitting
• Environmental permitting (wetlands protection, public waterways, septic/sewer, etc.)
• Real estate/land use rights (title, easements, adverse possession, etc.)
• Registered Land matters, S-Cases, & land de-registration
• Municipal licensing
• Private client services: conveyancing, land use agreements, corporate structuring, condominium matters, development team formation, etc.
In addition to my permitting practice, I am an experienced real estate litigator specializing in zoning/permitting appeals, land use and title disputes, declaratory judgment actions, adverse possession, historical rights of way, and registered land matters.
I am a commentator for Landlaw’s Massachusetts Housing Appeals Committee Reporter (MHACR), Co-Chair of the Affordable Housing Section of the Real Estate Bar Association for Massachusetts (REBA), and Special Town Counsel to the Town of Saugus, MA.
I am licensed to practice in Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey.
