Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young partners Christopher E. Cummings, Catherine M. Ward and Mark E. Chopko presented at the Resource Center for Religious Institutes' 2018 National Conference on Oct. 31 in Orlando, Florida.
Cummings and Ward presented, “Real Estate 201: Planning for the Future,” which discussed strategies for religious organizations that need to dispose of or repurpose real estate assets that are no longer needed for the organization's charitable or religious mission.
Chopko's panel, “#MeToo and #Insurance, Too,” explored the stream of new claims now facing educational, service and religious organizations based on adult harassment and exploitation, the legal basis for these claims and how insurance is dealing with coverage of those risks.
Cummings, a past chair of Stradley Ronon's real estate practice group, represents clients with acquisitions, dispositions, sale/leasebacks, 1031 like-kind exchanges, commercial leasing and mortgaged-based financing, and also advises clients on construction and development projects. Ward is co-chair of the firm's environmental practice group and a member of the real estate practice group. Her practice involves strategizing and overseeing redevelopment projects and identifying grant funding.
Chopko chairs Stradley Ronon's nonprofit and religious organizations practice group and advises clients, including colleges and universities, in matters involving structural, business, governance, regulatory and complex litigation.
