As a partner at Hankin Palladino Weintrob Bell & Labov, Evan Labov focuses his practice on construction law, public contract law, and commercial litigation. He also engages in certain transactional work, including the preparation and review of construction contracts, business asset and stock sale agreements, and related notes, mortgages, employment agreements, and leases.
Born in Atlantic County, New Jersey, Mr. Labov is the product of three generations of entrepreneurial mechanical contractors. Growing up watching his grandfather and father participate in major projects in New Jersey and surrounding states has given him a keen understanding of the principles of hard work, dedication, and integrity that contractors and all businesses must live by, not only to survive, but to thrive. This background led Mr. Labov to pursue a practical education, attending Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on a full-tuition Presidential Scholarship. He graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management and a Minor in Business from LeBow College of Business. Having become enamored with the law during his undergraduate studies, Mr. Labov attended George Mason University School of Law in Arlington, Virginia, an institution with a focus on teaching the law not as an isolated discipline, but as the core structure on which our economy is built and within which businesses, both large and small, must operate. Mr. Labov completed the school’s Juris Doctor Specialty Track program in Litigation Law and graduated cum laude in 2012.
Mr. Labov is a member of the New Jersey Bar Association Construction Law Section, the Pennsylvania Bar Association Civil Litigation Section, the American Bar Association Litigation Section and Construction Law Forum, and the Atlantic County Bar Association. In September 2017, he was appointed by the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey to the District Fee Arbitration Committee for District I. In June 2019, he was named as a Panel Chairperson for District I.
