    John represents and counsels a variety of clients, including commercial and residential developers, chemical manufacturers, industrial companies, and commercial business owners, on myriad environmental and regulatory issues.  He has represented and continues to assist clients in matters involving ISRA compliance, site remediation, environmental audits, due diligence, Brownfields redevelopment, permitting, solid and hazardous waste regulation, solid waste utility compliance, air and water pollution control, and cleanup cost recovery.  John is experienced in representing clients in administrative proceedings and working with local, state, and federal agencies to resolve non-litigated compliance matters.  He develops integrated strategies for responding to governmental mandates, pursuing cost recovery actions, and facilitating purchase, sale, and redevelopment of contaminated properties. In addition to representing private, commercial, and nonprofit clients, John has also served as a municipal prosecutor for Rutgers University.

    Prior to joining Norris McLaughlin, P.A., John was a law clerk for the Hon. Sybil R.

    • Represented the owners of Technical Air Systems, Inc. in connection with the sale of its business to AIR Control Concepts, with PKF Investment Banking serving as financial advisor. The nuanced transaction in the HVAC industry involved the added complexity of an ESOP-owned company.
    • John worked with a national customer service leader in waste and recycling services and job-site equipment rentals to acquire a majority of the assets of another company focused on the management of various regulated waste disposal services. The other entity is still operating as a medical-waste transporter. The complexity of this transaction was due to several changes to corporate names and federal tax IDs, which made the petition process more arduous. For these types of companies, an audit is done as part of the petition to review past practices, reports, licensing issues, and tax reports. Several of the required forms and reports had not been completed in their entirety during the pandemic, so additional time was required to retroactively obtain the accurate information to ensure compliance and completion. John was instrumental in getting the required information completed, submitted and approved by the Department of Environmental Protection culminating in timely completion of the transaction.
