East Brunswick, N.J. – Circulate NJ today announced that Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis LLP is the coalition’s newest member. The law firm joins Circulate NJ’s actively expanding list of 40+ member organizations, with representation from all sectors of the logistics industry—which encompasses the Transportation, Logistics and Distribution (TLD) industries that fuel our supply chain—including port workers, warehouses, retail developers, trucking companies, and more.

“If you are looking for knowledge regarding the legal issues associated with New Jersey’s logistics industry, the team at Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis has seen it all,” said David Greek, Chair of Circulate NJ and Managing Partner of Greek Real Estate Partners. “Their work on behalf of clients has helped showcase what logistics means to the state. This is especially true in the area of brownfield remediation, where the logistics industry continues to be a leader. We greatly appreciate their support in joining Circulate NJ.”

The Greenbaum firm has deep roots in New Jersey and a far-reaching knowledge of business and legal issues in the state. Founded in 1914, the firm currently has approximately 100 attorneys practicing in three New Jersey locations. Greenbaum’s primary areas of expertise include real estate, redevelopment and land use, and environmental issues, including a strong reputation for overseeing significant projects involving contaminated site remediation and brownfield cleanups.

Many of the firm’s attorneys hold leadership positions in business and legal industry groups. This includes serving as officers, board members and trustees of groups including NAIOP NJ, Downtown New Jersey, the New Jersey Builders Association, New Jersey Future, the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, and New Jersey State Bar Association sections focused on real estate, land use, environmental, construction, and business law.

“We are proud of Greenbaum’s long, established history in New Jersey, particularly our work in the commercial real estate, land use and environmental sectors. The logistics industry plays a key role in our state’s success, and we’ve been fortunate to partner with many of the industry’s leading companies and organizations on projects that have had a significant positive impact on the lives of New Jersey residents. Working together through Circulate NJ, we look forward to better informing those residents about the countless benefits the logistics industry brings into play,” said Jack Fersko, Co-Chair, Real Estate Department at Greenbaum.

Circulate NJ’s wide-ranging coalition members are driving economic growth and success in towns across the state. Data from the New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development shows the numerous benefits the TLD industry provides New Jersey, including:

• Supporting more than 400,000 jobs
• Employing 12% of the state’s private work force and providing 12.7% of New Jersey private sector wages
• Providing an average $75,000 annual industry salary
• Contributing $62.5 billion, or 10%, to New Jersey’s overall GDP

Circulate NJ’s members have also been a leader in the environmental cleanup of brownfield sites. These hazardous locations often cost millions to rehabilitate and make usable for the public. Circulate NJ’s members have taken the initiative to clean up and reuse these sites across New Jersey, from Jersey City to Lower Alloways Creek and points in between.

Additional coalition members will be announced in the coming weeks and months.
