Legal eagles in Long Island.

Three prominent attorneys, John A. Harras, Paul J. Bloom and Keith H. Archer, have announced the formation of Harras Bloom & Archer LLP, a law firm offering high quality legal services in the areas of land use and zoning, real estate, corporate and commercial matters and related litigation. The named partners bring to the new firm an excellent reputation for professionalism and effective representation of their clients' interests. Prior to establishing their own firm, all three worked with the Melville law firm of Morton Weber and Associates.

"The new firm provides an opportunity for us to broaden our legal services, focus our talents and energies specifically on our clients, while offering them the highest level of personalized legal representation," said Keith Archer. "We are excited about our new venture and look forward to helping our clients successfully navigate the complex zoning, land use and environmental issues that greatly impact real estate development on Long Island."

The offices of Harras Bloom and Archer, LLP will be located in a state-of-the-art building in Melville from which the firm will be able to effectively serve clients in both Suffolk and Nassau counties.

"The combination of John Harras, Paul Bloom and Keith Archer represents a uniquely talented and effective legal team. They have worked with significant national and local companies in connection with some of the most complex litigation, real estate and zoning issues around," said Robert Rosenbluth, executive director of Cushman Wakefield. "This is very exciting news for the Long Island business community, particularly the real estate and development industry."

The new firm is located on Route 110 at 445 Broad Hollow Road in Melville.
