Cohen and Perfetto named to 2013 NY Super Lawyers list

Marshall Cohen and Louis Perfetto, founding partners of the real estate law firm Cohen & Perfetto LLP, have been named to the 2013 edition of New York Super Lawyers for the seventh consecutive year. Each year, only 5% of attorneys in the state receive this honor. With a combined 45 years of experience, Cohen and Perfetto practice in all areas of real estate law, including land use, zoning, banking law, work outs and government incentives. They are both distinguished in the industry for handling large-scale acquisition and commercial development deals, many of which involve complex legal issues such as the sale of air rights, 1031 exchanges and zoning issues. They represent clients nationwide ranging from Fortune 500 businesses to small, family-run businesses. New York Super Lawyers conducts a statewide annual competitive review of attorneys in 60 practice areas to compile the Super Lawyers list, employing a rigorous multi-phase selection process combining peer nominations and evaluations with third-party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. The list is published annually by Thomson Reuters as a part of the Legal, Business of Law Group.
