Commercial real estate development from a property in its raw state through acquisition, development, and sale comprise my primary area of practice. My practice includes acquisition, permitting, construction, leasing, financing, syndication, title and sale of real property.  It is my goal to offer my clients creative approaches for each transaction in which I provide representation.  I am a former member of the Sharon Planning Board and Sharon Zoning Board of Appeals as well as of the Dover Housing Partnership, so I understand both sides of local permitting issues, and I appear on behalf of clients before Zoning Boards, Planning Boards and Conservation Commissions.  I am currently Chairman of the Dover Zoning Board of Appeals.  My clients include developers, corporations, institutions and small businesses.  I have been a licensed multiengine commercial pilot since 1981, and I also assist clients in aircraft acquisition, financing and sale.

As a full time neutral since 2011, Ed has focused his practice on mediation and is now available in all our offices statewide. He has over 30 years of combined legal experience. As an attorney, Ed was involved in many mediations, and recognized the benefits that private dispute resolution offered. Years later, while serving on the Riverside and San Bernardino County Court Panels, he discovered his passion for being a mediator. Ed was recognized by the Riverside Superior Court as being one of its top mediators for several years and now serves as a full-time private mediator.. An attorney had this to say about Ed, “My clients and I are highly impressed by Mr. Fernandez’s professionalism, skill and, most importantly, his mannerism. He is straight to the point and has the ability of putting people at ease. He is never pushy but is quite persuasive. He successfully helped us resolve a matter of which we were not very optimistic about at the beginning of the mediation. I will definitely put him on the “toppick” list of my future mediator selection.”. One of Ed’s perspective on mediation is that “the same, ‘cookie cutter’ approach just does not work anymore. Listen to the parties, be patient and build trust and confidence.”
