A former Big Law real estate partner at Sidley Austin, Munger Tolles & Olson and Skadden, he is best known for engineering the historic return of Bruce's Beach to the Bruce family in 2022, the first time in U.S. history that land seized through racially motivated eminent domain was returned to a Black family.
