I am a partner at Dinsmore & Shohl, where I focus my practice on commercial finance and real estate law. I represent lenders and borrowers on commercial real estate loan transactions and real estate deals around the country. I have closed transactions involving health care facilities, apartment complexes, office buildings, industrial facilities, shopping centers, hotels, and other types of commercial property.Working with lender and borrower clients, I handle all aspects of the loan process from reviewing terms of the loan commitment or term sheet and preparing documents to reviewing due diligence items and handling the closing. I particularly enjoy assisting both borrowers and lenders in complex loan transactions involving New Markets Tax Credits, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and Historic Tax Credits, as well as bond-financed loans and affordable housing deals.In my real estate practice, I represent both buyers and sellers of property at every stage of the acquisition process, including purchase and sale agreement negotiation, resolution of title and property issues, preparation of deeds, and coordinating the closing. My work with entities involved in real estate acquisitions and borrowing has also made me adept at general corporate law work, including formation of entities and drafting of corporate documents.Prior to joining Dinsmore, I worked as an award-winning newspaper reporter, covering education and government news for The Indianapolis Star and The Journal Gazette (Fort Wayne, Indiana).
