Hyland Levin LLP was recognized as a leading New Jersey firm in the practice area of real estate in the Chambers USA America’s Leading Lawyers for Business 2011 guide, released last week. The directory, which ranks America’s leading attorneys and firms, is used as a referral resource across the country.
Chambers’ authors wrote that Hyland Levin, located in Marlton, “derives much of its reputation from its skill in handling land use and zoning concerns, and related real estate litigation. Practitioners carry with them a wealth of experience in appearing before permitting boards, as well as the knowledge to assist clients faced with financing, lending and leasing challenges.” Affordable housing redevelopments and solar power were other highlighted areas.
Both partners Richard M. Hluchan and Mark D. Shapiro were named leading individuals in the area of real estate and Mr. Hluchan, who was recognized for his zoning and land use work in the real estate area, was also named in Chambers’ New Jersey Environment section. “Sources deem him to be a ‘premier league star’ in dealing with transactional concerns and an all-around ‘strong natural communicator,’” the guide said about Hluchan.
Hyland Levin LLP opened two years ago and has 13 attorneys. In addition to real estate and environment, practice groups include business and transactions, zoning and land use, franchise and licensing, business and commercial litigation, immigration, business planning and tax, leasing, eminent domain and real property taxation.
