Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer, P.A. is pleased to announce that Shareholder Christopher D. Hopkins has been admitted as a Fellow of the American College of Real Estate Lawyers (ACREL), an honor extended by invitation only following a rigorous selection process.
ACREL’s criteria for admission requires a nominee to be “a distinguished real property law practitioner” who not only “enjoys an outstanding reputation for excellence and integrity in the practice of law,” but who ACREL finds has “given back” in that he or she has “contributed to a more informed bar or public with respect to matters of real estate law or to the improvement of real estate practice.” ACREL was founded in 1978 to promote high standards and ethics for real estate lawyers, as well as educate its members on developments and issues within the real estate practice.
Mr. Hopkins is a Shareholder in the firm’s Real Estate group, where he represents developers, owners, users, and other clients in complex real estate and construction transactions. His practice includes a broad range of commercial, industrial, and retail matters, with a focus on leasing, financing, land acquisition and disposition, development approvals, construction, and redevelopment.
Mr. Hopkins joins Wilentz attorneys Anne S. Babineau, David S. Gordon, Todd E. Lehder, and Steven J. Tripp as Fellows of ACREL.
The American College of Real Estate Lawyers is an invitation only membership limited to U.S. real estate lawyers. The membership selection criteria and requirements are available at: https://www.acrel.org/page/MemberSelectionGuide. No aspect of this advertisement has been submitted to or approved by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.
