On The Move: Parker McCay; Snyder Sarno; Cohn Lifland

Parker McCay hired Christopher A. Orlando as a partner in the municipal and real estate and redevelopment departments in Camden. He most recently held dual roles as county counsel for Camden County and as executive director of the Camden County Improvement Authority. He'll assist the firm's governmental clients as they work to transform local law enforcement, according to the firm. Orlando also has experience in alternative energy, redevelopment, and local government. Orlando has some 15 years' experience working with government in private practice as well as the public sector. In private practice, he helped develop the legal framework for the creation of the Camden County Metro Police Department. He left for the public sector when he was appointed county counsel, a role in which he worked closely with metro police leadership to develop rules, regulations, and standard operating procedures that focused on crime reduction through community policing and de-escalation training. As executive director of the CCIA on an interim basis, he was tasked with revitalizing the agency. "We are thrilled to bring the key architect of the most successful police reform in the country to our firm," Parker McCay CEO Philip Norcross said in a statement, adding that his experience "will be extremely valuable as we work to restructure police departments for both our local government clients as well as municipalities outside of this region. In addition, working with developers and government officials, his experience will allow him to take innovative development projects from concept to completion with ease." Orlando received his law degree from Rutgers Law School in 2005 and his B.A. from Boston University in 2000.
