MAXIMIZING RETURNS FOR REAL ESTATE EQUITY FUNDS The market for quality deals and quality sponsors grows increasingly competitive. I help real estate equity funds deploy capital by striking the balance between accommodating the sponsor to win the deal and protecting the fund’s investors. I learn what matters to the fund and, to the extent possible, the sponsor. I negotiate only when these interests conflict, working to find acceptable compromises quickly. My cross-disciplinary team can address any of the issues that attend a real estate equity investment (e.g., tax planning).HELPING FAMILY OFFICES GROW GENERATIONAL WEALTH THROUGH EQUITY INVESTMENTS Every family is unique. So is every family office. Once I have earned the trust requisite to represent a family in its real estate equity investments, I learn the family’s business objectives and how I can help achieve them. This invariably requires an uncompromising commitment to the family’s privacy, steadfast adherence to its business principles, and respectful dealings with its business relationships.
