As part of their Fall 2025 Newsletter, the Florida State University Center for Environmental, Energy, and Land Use Law has chosen to spotlight Partner Kim Hoffman as a distinguished alumnus, noting her leadership in counseling the Riverfront Development Corporation (RDC) “through the next phase of legal challenges associated with investigation, acquisition, permitting, cleanup and eventual disposition of riverfront lands.”
The Center for Environmental, Energy, and Land Use Law is devoted to educating Florida State students to be leaders, advocates, and policymakers at the intersection of real estate, energy, and regulatory law by convening internationally recognized luminaries for informative events and producing cutting-edge interdisciplinary research. Their decision to highlight Kim and her work with the RDC is indicative of Morris James' stewardship in advising our clients on the environmental aspects of land acquisition and development.
Kimberly Rockwell Hoffman ('96) is the McClear Scholar for Land Use and Environmental Law and led her firm’s efforts to win the RFP for outside general counsel to the Riverfront Development Corporation, a Delaware state agency remediating decades of industrial pollution and repurposing the Christina and Brandywine riverfront in Wilmington.
