A nationally renowned environmental lawyer, he has been on the cutting edge of developments in the environmental sector since the 1980s, and is a Past President of the American College of Environmental Lawyers. He was recently invited to speak at Oxford University’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, where he presented a talk on particular developments and trends in U.S. environmental law. Mr. Farer has extensive experience related to the cleanup and redevelopment of contaminated properties including brownfields, environmental compliance and insurance issues, institutional and engineering controls, assessing and negotiating liability under federal and state Superfund laws, resolution of environmental issues in bankruptcy proceedings, litigation arising from those issues, and the emerging field of sustainable development and green building. He advises clients on environmental contractual protection techniques, due diligence, transaction-triggered environmental laws, funding options for brownfields redevelopment, state and federal cleanup liabilities, deed notices and use restrictions, and environmental disclosures. He also has substantial experience as special environmental counsel in bankruptcy proceedings, dealing with state and federal environmental authorities in the process of estimating and resolving environmental liabilities of bankrupt entities.

Prior to joining the firm in January 2012 as chair of its newly established Environmental Department, Mr. Farer chaired the Environmental & Brownfields practice group at Farer Fersko, where he established that firm’s environmental practice in 1984. For over thirty years, Mr. Farer has written and lectured extensively on environmental issues in New Jersey and nationally. He developed and chairs two long-standing American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education (ALI CLE, formerly ALI-ABA) national courses of study: ‘The Impact of Environmental Law on Real Estate and Business Transactions: Brownfields and Beyond,’ which has been presented since 1987, and ‘Environmental Insurance.’ Since the mid-1980s, he has developed and presented numerous seminars for the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education (NJICLE), including his longstanding series of lectures, programs and associated manuals on New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA, formerly ECRA) and New Jersey’s Brownfield Law.
