Robert Brown
Our company was navigating the acquisition of a former industrial site in Boston, a process fraught with environmental and regulatory uncertainty. From our first meeting, Michael Leon demonstrated why he has been a recognized leader in environmental law for decades. His deep, practical knowledge of Massachusetts' administrative regulations and brownfield development protocols was immediately apparent. He didn't just recite the law; he mapped out a clear, strategic path forward, anticipating hurdles from the DEP and local boards before they arose. His 30 years of experience, particularly in the nuanced area where regulatory compliance meets practical redevelopment, were indispensable. Michael and his team at Nutter were meticulous, responsive, and incredibly effective. The transaction closed successfully, with all environmental contingencies resolved favorably, setting the stage for a viable project. For any matter involving complex environmental or land use challenges, I cannot recommend Michael A. Leon more highly.
