About Emily
How do you help businesses and individuals?
I specialize in real estate and environmental law. My real estate practice focuses on buying, selling and leasing commercial real estate, although I also help businesses, individuals and financial institutions with a variety of other real estate matters. I also routinely advise clients regarding environmental compliance and regulatory issues relating to underground storage tanks, waste management, permitting, environmental enforcement and the investigation, cleanup and regulatory closure of contaminated sites.
What sets you apart from other lawyers in your practice field?
With expertise in both real estate and environmental law, I am uniquely qualified to represent parties buying, selling, leasing, developing or financing real estate with environmental challenges. I routinely assist clients with the analysis and mitigation of environmental risks relating to real estate transactions, development, financing and corporate acquisitions; achieving and maintaining cleanup liability protection under Michigan and federal law; and matters relating to access and environmental restrictions.
What did you learn in your first year of practice that you still utilize today?
I learned that exceptional client service requires effective communication, efficiency and prioritizing clients’ interests.
