Selkowitz is a Senior Instructor at the CU Denver Business School, teaching classes in business law and business ethics, as well as “Real Estate for the Entrepreneur” in the Business School’s Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship. Selkowitz will present a CLE program, entitled Historic Preservation Law 101, via live teleconference from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (MST) on Monday, February 24th.
Selkowitz is uniquely qualified to deliver a program on historic preservation law. He earned an MA in Historic Preservation from Goucher College, and his J.D. from the University of Denver. In addition to his academic background in the subject area, Selkowitz has developed a wide knowledge of a variety of legal and business issues through his professional experience. Selkowitz’ experience includes building a successful private general business practice emphasizing contract drafting and review, real estate, copyright, trademark and entertainment law, business planning, and commercial litigation.
In addition, Selkowitz has worked as the Director of Preservation Services at Historic Denver, Inc. and as Executive Director of Colorado Lawyers for the Arts. Selkowitz will share his knowledge to participants in three broad topic areas:
- Benefits of Historic Preservation
- Methods of Preserving Historic Structures
- Tax Incentives
About the course:
With increased public interest in revitalizing cities and towns, living in pedestrian-friendly communities, and environmentally friendly construction, municipalities and developers are looking toward preserving and adapting historic buildings for new uses rather than starting from scratch. Furthermore, individuals and organizations that own historic buildings are increasingly interested in leveraging their investment by taking advantage of available programs and tax incentives. As a result, it is imperative for attorneys to understand the best ways to preserve historic structures while complying with applicable laws and benefiting from applicable tax incentives.
