My focus

My practice focuses on all aspects of commercial real estate transactions. I represent borrowers and lenders, real estate developers and companies and property owners. I assist clients in structuring and negotiating a variety of commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions, leasing, title and survey review, and negotiation of other real estate instruments. I also have experience in negotiating and drafting design and construction contracts and have recently negotiated and drafted design and construction agreements for multi-use buildings, hospitals, restaurants, and office buildings.

Looking ahead

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, I expect to see a shift in design of work spaces to focus on more adaptable spaces that can be repurposed on a short notice and at a lower cost.
