New York, NY (December 19, 2017) ‐ Leading construction law firm Zetlin and De Chiara LLP announced today that Jaimee Nardiello, a Partner at the firm, was selected for Crain’s inaugural list of Leading Women Lawyers in NYC.
The honorees were recognized for juggling both distinguished and exceptional civic and philanthropic
activities. They appeared in the annual Book of Lists issue of Crain’s New York Business, published on December 18, 2017.
“Over the decade she has been with Zetlin & De Chiara, Jaimee has made herself indispensable to the firm and our clients – contributing to her meteoric rise to partner,” said Michael Vardaro, Managing
Partner, Zetlin & De Chiara LLP. “In the last year alone, she has stepped into industry leadership roles, co‐authored an important legal guide on federal government construction contracts and celebrated impactful victories on behalf of her clients. We applaud Jaimee on this well‐deserved recognition.”
Ms. Nardiello focuses her law practice on protecting the rights of design professionals, contractors,
owners and other members of the industry in litigation – where she stands out as a woman in New
York’s male dominated construction industry. She has successfully defended clients against several
hundred million dollars in claims‐‐winning dismissals, mitigating liability, and preserving reputations.
The recently released Guide to Federal Government Construction Contracts, published by The American Bar Association (ABA), features a chapter by Ms. Nardiello on the complexities of architect‐engineer (A‐E) contracting. In 2018, Ms. Nardiello’s work as an industry advocate for women will really take off next year when she assumes the presidency of CREW New York, the largest and most high‐profile organization for professional real estate women in the country.
