Boston– Boston law firm Sherin and Lodgen LLP announced the addition of Daniel C. Johnston as an associate in the firm’s Real Estate Department.
Johnston provides clients with practical insights into leasing, acquisitions, dispositions, financings, development, and permitting. Drawing on his work at the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA) and City of Pittsburgh Department of City Planning, Johnston is particularly knowledgeable about development and permitting matters, including moving projects through the BPDA’s Article 80 review process.
Prior to joining Sherin and Lodgen, Johnston was an associate at Mintz Levin. Before that, he interned with both U.S. Representative Raul Ruiz (D-CA-36) and U.S. Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr. (D-PA), where he served as a point-of-contact for constituent services ranging from everyday concerns over proposed legislation to how various postal unions would be affected in budget negotiations.
Committed to pro bono, Johnston is also involved with the Volunteer Lawyers Project, which provides legal representation to low-income tenants facing eviction, and Project Citizenship, which helps lawful permanent residents become naturalized citizens.
Johnston is a graduate of Boston University School of Law and received his undergraduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh.
