Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Schiller associate Adena Herskovitz recently participated in the American Bar Association’s Philadelphia Community Outreach Program, presenting a course entitled “Basics of Architect Agreements and Construction Contracts.” Herskovitz and co-presenter Bernard Lee discussed how to negotiate agreements with architects and contractors, with particular emphasis on how owners and developers of real estate can substantially improve their positions over the unaltered AIA contracts.

She earned her law degree from Yale Law School in 2004 and her undergraduate degree, magna cum laude, from Williams College in 1998. Prior to joining Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Schiller, she was an associate at a Connecticut law firm where she was a member of the real estate, land use, and environmental law department. Herskovitz currently serves on the Board of Regional Housing Legal Services and is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
