Albert Slap

President & Co-Founder

Coastal Risk Consulting, LLC

As the President of Coastal Risk Consulting, LLC, I lead a geospatial modeling, data analytics, and risk assessment technology company with advisory services. With over 20 years of experience as an environmental lawyer and law professor, I have a strong background in environmental litigation, regulation, and policy. I have taught at University of Cincinnati and Florida International University Colleges of Law, and I hold a J.D. from Villanova University School of Law and a B.A. from University of Pennsylvania.

My mission is to help individuals, businesses, and governments accelerate resilience to floods, natural hazards, and climate change impacts. Coastal Risk provides cloud-based, risk assessments for any property or building in the US and globally, as well as flood risk damage and economic loss estimates. I have also been involved in various conservation initiatives, such as The Nature Conservancy's Colorado River Project and the Caribbean Advisory Council. In 2014, I received the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas "Defender of the Everglades Award" for my legal work to stop pollution and protect public health.
