Newark, NJ — January 19, 2026 — Murphy Schiller & Wilkes LLP (MSW), a leading boutique law firm servicing the commercial real estate and construction industries, announced today that David A. Roth has joined the firm as Counsel in its Environmental Law practice group.

Roth brings more than 25 years of experience advising companies, developers, investors, and individuals on complex environmental, health, and safety matters. His practice spans federal and state regulatory compliance, enforcement defense, site remediation, brownfields redevelopment, and environmental aspects of real estate and corporate transactions.

“We are thrilled to welcome David to MSW,” said Kellen Murphy, Managing Partner of the firm. “Environmental issues increasingly shape the trajectory of real estate development and infrastructure investment across New Jersey and beyond. David’s depth of experience and practical, solutions‑oriented approach strengthen our ability to guide clients through these challenges with clarity and confidence.”

Roth advises clients on compliance and enforcement matters involving major environmental statutes, including New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) and Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Clean Water Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and various Right‑to‑Know laws. He regularly works with environmental consultants and technical experts to develop cost‑effective strategies for site investigation and remediation under the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Technical Requirements for Site Remediation (TRSR), Administrative Requirements for the Remediation of Contaminated Sites (ARRCS), and the Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) program.

Roth also represents clients in the environmental components of business transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, mergers and acquisitions, and financing. His work includes environmental due diligence, liability allocation, contract negotiation, and structuring post‑closing remediation and long‑term compliance obligations.

In addition, Roth has extensive experience representing owners, operators, generators, and other potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in litigation, cost allocation proceedings, and other disputes under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA/Superfund), New Jersey’s Spill Compensation and Control Act (Spill Act), and analogous state superfund laws.

“MSW’s integrated platform and its leadership in real estate, construction, and redevelopment make it an ideal home for my practice,” Roth said. “I look forward to contributing to the firm’s continued growth and helping clients navigate the increasingly complex environmental landscape.”

Roth earned his J.D. from the University of Maryland School of Law and his B.S. from Rutgers University. He is admitted to practice in New Jersey and Maryland.
