I am a commercial real estate lawyer with over thirty (30) years’ experience. In the last five (5) years I have closed deals having a cumulative value of over two and a half billion dollars. My practice has focused primarily on institutional grade properties and complex transactions with a particular emphasis in the multifamily space. I have represented institutional investors as well as sponsors and developers. A large part of my practice has involved drafting and negotiating limited liability company agreements, limited partnership agreements and other organizational documents. I have worked on transactions involving agency loans as well as commercial bank, life-company and CMBS financing. Because many of my clients have been national in scope I have worked on projects in most of the major metropolitan areas in the country.I began my career just before the S&L crisis in the early 1990’s and cut my teeth representing commercial banks and other lenders working out distressed real estate loans, conducting foreclosures and selling REO. Since the early 90’s, I have advised lenders, developers and investors in connection with the acquisition, development, and financing of commercial real estate projects across the nation. I have represented both landlords and tenants in connection with both commercial and retail leases. I have also represented a national senior housing developer in connection with the acquisition, development, financing and management of CCRC properties. I learned early on that every deal needs a good quarterback and I particularly enjoy that role, effectively managing large and complex real estate transactions. For three decades, through attention to detail, sound legal advice, effective coordination and hard work, I have helped my clients advance their most important transactions to closing.When not closing deals, I enjoy spending time with family, kayaking, fishing and swimming.
