Biography

Ian’s ability to translate the complex world of real estate into straightforward advice results in clear direction for his clients.

As a member of Verrill’s Real Estate Group, Ian advises clients on commercial sales and leasing, commercial and bond financing, and title insurance.

Prior to joining Verrill, Ian worked at a real estate law firm in Massachusetts where he advised corporate and individual clients in commercial and residential transactions. As a part of his transactional work, Ian appeared in front of local permitting and licensing boards to obtain municipal approvals of cannabis and liquor licenses. Ian also specialized in title curative matters, which involved litigating title disputes across Massachusetts.

While in law school, Ian was a legal extern at The Nature Conservancy, where he worked on a variety of environmental matters, including hydroelectric policy in Mexico, protected coastal habitat on Long Island and land conservation strategies for corporate landowners.

While not in the office, you can find Ian trail running, snowboarding or tinkering with his latest homebrew recipe.
