Partners Brian R. Sahn and Aaron Gershonowitz Publish Article in Latest Issue New York Law Journal
"Trends in Real Estate and Title Insurance: The "Almost Innocent" Purchaser 9/20/04

Mineola, September 20, 2004 — Partners Brian R. Sahn and Aaron Gershonowitz have published an article in the latest issue of New York Law Journal.

Discussing the ramifications of the Ninth Circuits decision in Western Properties Service Corporation v. Shell Oil, and its effects on commercial real estate transactions, Sahn and Gershonowitz note that the decision "makes clear that there are a number of significant issues affecting environmental review on which different courts have reach different conclusions. For the practitioner, that means that a close review of the law of the jurisdiction in which the transaction is taking place is necessary to effectively negotiate."

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. In addition, 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 local governmental agencies.
