Atlantic Yards developer Bruce Ratner's top lobbyist issued a press release:
Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP announced today that Carol E. Rosenthal has joined the Firm as a partner in the Real Estate Department, resident in New York. She joins Fried Frank from Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, where she was a partner in the Real Estate & Land Use Department.
Ms. Rosenthal serves as land use and development counsel to a wide variety of developers and institutions. She has represented private developer and institutional clients in land use approvals and development transactions, successfully prosecuting applications for zoning changes, variances and special permits, state and city environment quality reviews, and other governmental approvals. She has broad-based experience in project development, housing, transportation and joint public-private initiatives.
"Land use and development matters continue to be very active in New York City. Stephen Lefkowitz, Melanie Meyers, Rick Leland and Adrienne Bernard, along with the rest of our team, have earned a superb reputation because of their proven ability to drive forward the most complicated projects, including development of the new Yankee Stadium, Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn and the new Moynihan Rail Station. We are looking forward to having Carol as a part of this team," said Jonathan Mechanic, chair of Fried Frank's Real Estate Department.
NoLandGrab: Having "Atlantic Yards" on your client list is a badge of honor if you're a lobbyist.
Readers may recall that Ratner paid Fried Frank $995 an hour to make sure that the City and State kept their side of the deal laid out in the 2005 memorandum of understanding for Atlantic Yards (PDF).
