Shipman & Goodwin Attorney Eli Strassfeld Becomes LEED Certified

Hartford, CT, March 24, 2009 - Congratulations to Eli Strassfeld, who has passed the LEED Professional Accreditation exam, and is now a LEED Accredited Professional, or "LEED AP."

Buildings that meet a sufficient number of LEED standards are referred to as LEED-certified. LEED Professional Accreditation distinguishes professionals with the knowledge and skills to successfully steward the LEED certification process. Over 70,000 professionals in the United States, mostly architects, engineers, and contractors, are LEED APs. Fewer than 300 lawyers and legal academics in the United States, only five (now six) of whom practice or teach in Connecticut, are LEED APs.
