Attorney Daniel J. Sitomer resuming New York practice

Real Estate Weekly, July 11, 2001

After two years of working on technology related projects in California, nationally prominent construction and environmental attorney, Daniel J. Sitomer, has returned to New York to resume his law practice. In addition to construction and environmental matters, he will also focus on the siting, financing and development of power and cogeneration facilities in New York State and Mexico, as well as government relations in Washington.

In announcing his appointment as counsel to lead the New York offices' construction practice of Jenkens & Gilchrist Parker Chapin LLP, Sitomer becomes the first New York attorney to join the 600-attorney, eight-office firm, which resulted from the merger of Texas based Jenkens & Gilchrist with New York's Parker Chapin.

"I missed the energy of New York, and the people that do business here. Its exciting to be back and I'm lucky to be able to continue where I left off," said Sitomer. He added that management of environmental issues is more crucial than ever as is the development and implementation of asbestos, lead, mold and total air quality management.

Sitomer, formerly a partner at Brown and Wood, LLP, chaired the firm's construction and environmental law group. He is well known as an owner/developer's lawyer and for his drafting and negotiation of the state of the art construction documents and for the development of project site programs to reduce construction costs and potential claims. He has served as a Trustee of the Central Park Conservancy; a member of the Board of Directors of the New York City Economic Development Corporation; a member of the Board of Directors of the New York City Public-Private Initiatives; and a member of the Mayor's Transition Committee.
