J. Sheldon “Lee” Cohen joined the firm in 2021, Of Counsel. An attorney with over 45 years of experience, Lee is highly regarded for his work in the areas of property redevelopment, municipal law, eminent domain, railroad law, government and regulatory affairs, trial and appellate litigation, administrative law, and labor and employment law. Mr. Cohen was the Fort Lee Borough Attorney, Redevelopment Counsel and Labor Counsel for over 20 plus years and has also served as Township and Redevelopment Counsel for the Township of Aberdeen. Lee was lead counsel involved with the success redeveloped of a 17-acre site adjacent to the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee. Mr. Cohen’s team eliminated all prior claimants, including, through successful litigation, clearing the land for new development, conducted a national RFP process to choose new redevelopers, oversaw the Borough’s selection process, negotiated the new redevelopers and financing agreements and brought the projects to completion. The two new, $1 billion developments include two 50-story luxury residential towers of 450 units each, two new Borough parks, parking garages, over 200,000 square feet of retail space, an additional 400 apartments, with possible additions including a hotel or office building. Construction of a public theatre-museum will close out the projects. Mr. Cohen has overseen several other high, low, and mid-rise residential projects, as well as a train station mixed-use project, including affordable housing compliance in each residential project. Mr. Cohen also condemned and litigated the value of the 2153 acres of Sterling Forest located in New Jersey to maintain the Forest as parkland for the County of Passaic, and derivatively, for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

He was also lead counsel for three railway companies in the acquisition, permitting and construction of several major rail terminal facilities in the New Jersey Meadowlands, which now act as terminals for international “ship to rail” or “land bridge” operations. The condemnation of the former Hoehst-Celanese chemical manufacturing facility was also overseen by Mr. Cohen. A former Superfund site, it is now the current site of the Essex County Jail. Aside from the obvious environmental issues, the case was noteworthy because the County intended a change of use from industrial use to residential use. In a case of first impression before the New Jersey Supreme Court, Lee also successfully defended the validity of an employee discharge pursuant to a “Last Chance” employment agreement in New Jersey. Watson v. City of East Orange, 175 N.J. 442 (2003).

Bd. of Chosen Freeholders, et al., 48 F. 3d 701 (3rd Cir. 1995) and 112 F. 3d 652 (3rd Cir. 1996) Mr. Cohen was an Adjunct Professor at Rutgers University Graduate Institute of Management and Labor Relations (1976-77 and 1977-78) and has addressed numerous professional organizations on public and private labor and employment law issues and is the author of several articles on the subject, including: Statutory and Derivative Public Policy Remedies [At-Will Employment], New Jersey Lawyer Magazine, Nov. 1984 How the Interest Arbitration Law Works and Why the Effects of Caps is Unclear, New York Times, June 3, 1979 Index and Outline of Scope of Negotiations Determinations, Rutgers, The State University, Institute of Management and Labor Relations, 1977 Mr. Cohen received his B.A. from Fordham College at Fordham University in 1971 and his J.D. from Fordham University School of Law in 1975.
