I represent developers, investors and other real estate industry participants in complex development and financing transactions, with a particular focus on projects involving tax credits and other sources of public and private capital. I help clients navigate the many moving pieces of these transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions, joint venture structuring, development agreements, due diligence, land use and entitlements, and construction-related matters. My broader real estate experience also includes purchase and sale agreements, easements, title and survey matters, entity governance documents, and agreements with contractors, architects, and other project professionals.
Before practicing law, I spent several years developing multifamily real estate, where I identified and acquired development sites, conducted due diligence, structured joint ventures and worked with capital partners throughout the project life cycle. My experience also included negotiating public financing incentives, securing land-use approvals, overseeing project design and construction, and managing underwriting and project budgets. That experience informs my legal practice today, with an understanding of the business considerations that drive a project and how legal decisions can affect its cost, timing, financing and execution. I bring that perspective to my work by focusing on the issues that matter and structuring legal protections in a way that manages risk without creating unnecessary obstacles to the deal.
