Brian W. Kronick, Managing Partner, said: “Jersey City is a burgeoning venue for New Jersey’s business community. What better place to establish a presence than at our clients’ doorstep in Jersey City – home to many of our clients in the financial services, securities, gold coast real estate and development and port commerce industries.”
He added, “Genova Burns Giantomasi Webster prides itself on its attorneys’ responsiveness and access to our clients, which we provide through locations situated along the commercial corridor spanning from New York City, through our home base of Newark, to Red Bank and on to the Camden/Philadelphia region. An office in Jersey City serves our primary mission of providing exemplary legal services to companies nationwide who are doing business or who seek to do business in New Jersey.”
The Firm also announced the addition of two new attorneys, who will be based in the Jersey City office:
Partner: Eugene T. Paolino is a native of Jersey City, graduating from Saint Peter’s Preparatory School, Saint Peter’s University and Villanova University School of Law. He has been practicing law in New Jersey for more than three decades and brings a wealth of experience in commercial law and real estate development, redevelopment law and tax abatement, zoning and land use law, commercial law, education law and corporate law. He has been general counsel to Saint Peter’s University and has played a critical role in some of Jersey City’s most iconic and significant real estate projects along New Jersey’s Hudson River “Gold Coast,” such as 77 Hudson and 101 Hudson, as well as the development of The Beacon (the former Jersey City Medical Center) and the Saint Peter’s MacMahon Student Center, together with other redevelopment projects across Jersey City and Hudson County.
Associate: Thomas P. Leane received his Juris Doctor from Seton Hall Law University School of Law in 2011, and his Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science from Boston College.

Mr. Kronick continued, “The talents of Mr. Paolino and Mr. Leane, added to our new presence on Hudson County’s ‘Gold Coast,’ further establish Genova Burns Giantomasi Webster as the law firm of choice for anyone doing business or seeking to do business in this region.”
