The NJBIZ Leaders in Law program recognizes attorneys and general counsels whose professional accomplishments, leadership, and service to their communities demonstrate a sustained commitment to excellence in the legal profession.
“I am honored to be recognized by NJBIZ alongside so many accomplished legal professionals,” said DeMarco. “This recognition reflects the trust our clients place in us and the collaborative, practical approach we take at Scarinci Hollenbeck to solving complex real estate and development challenges.”
Joe DeMarco focuses on complex commercial real estate and land-use matters, advising clients on projects that require careful coordination among business, legal, and regulatory stakeholders. His work spans a wide range of industries and property types throughout New Jersey and the region.
This award adds to DeMarco’s growing list of professional accolades, which include his wide respect for his legal insight, client advocacy, and contributions to the real estate and development community. NJBIZ’s Leaders in Law award honors legal professionals who have demonstrated excellence in their practice and made a meaningful impact in their field. Honorees are selected by an independent panel of judges with experience in the justice system, based on nominations submitted by peers and colleagues.
DeMarco will be formally recognized at the 2026 NJBIZ Leaders in Law Awards ceremony on Tuesday, March 31, at The Marigold in Somerset. Award recipients will also be featured in a special supplement included in the April 6 issue of NJBIZ.

In 2025, multiple firm attorneys were named NJBIZ Leaders in Law honorees, reflecting the firm’s depth of talent and its continued commitment to delivering high-quality legal services across a broad range of practice areas.
