Partner, Chair - Environmental Department
Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP

In the last 12 months what accomplishment are you most proud of? Being entrusted to provide counsel and advice to achieve client goals is an immense responsibility. It’s always rewarding when a client is recommended by a friend or colleague. Last year, I provided advice as part of a transaction, resolving an issue with the sale of a client’s environmentally-compromised site.

Best advice for new leaders: Understand your strengths and weaknesses. Be trustworthy. Be accountable.
