Forchelli, Curto, Schwartz, Mineo, Carlino & Cohn, LLP

Partner Aaron Gershonowitz Featured in the Latest Issue of Long Island Business News.
Partner Aaron Gershonowitz is featured in the latest issue of the Long Island Business News as an expert source on matters pertaining to the New York State Brownfield Cleanup Program.

Offering commentary concerning the brownfield timeline, Mr. Gershonowitz explains, “Often, one can take care of the environmental issues more quickly than going through the process required by the brownfield’s law.” Speaking to how the timing constraint affects developers, he concludes, “More often, the timing element turns them off. They want their building faster.”

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.

Morgan Securities Inc. and Lehman Brothers Inc., in VMware Inc.’s initial public offering of 37,950,000 shares of Class A common stock (including exercise of an over-allotment option), the largest technology sector IPO since Google went public in 2004.
