David Jessup, Jr.

David advises real estate owners, developers, and land banks on environmental and land use issues arising from the acquisition, redevelopment, and repositioning of contaminated or underutilized properties. His practice covers environmental due diligence, regulatory permitting and compliance, site assessment and remediation strategy, and risk allocation for a variety of asset types. Among the most sophisticated areas of his counsel are matters focusing on the redevelopment of environmentally sensitive Superfund sites, which implicate complex CERCLA considerations, and due diligence for hundreds of properties nationwide as part of land banking initiatives that requires coordination across differing jurisdictions and diverse stakeholders. David’s environmental work is informed by his prior experience in the public and nonprofit sectors, where he focused on economic mobility and community redevelopment.
