/My focus

I focus my practice on three main areas, utilizing my more than 30 years of experience to help our clients achieve their business objectives.

Commercial Real Estate Acquisition and Disposition

I represent parties, ranging from large institutional owners to family-owned or closely held real estate investment companies, buying and selling commercial real estate.

Commercial Space Leasing

I have represented a number of large national and international businesses seeking commercial space for office, retail, and industrial uses, as well as institutional owners and family-owned or closely held real estate investment companies leasing their commercial real estate.

Joint Ventures

I have represented both investors and developers in connection with joint ventures formed to develop commercial real estate.

/Looking ahead

Remote work and hybrid schedules will continue to result in less demand for commercial office space—both urban and suburban. In the Greater Boston area, there have already been several conversions of office space to life sciences space and I expect that there will be many conversions to residential use. It is unclear how fast this will transpire and what other types of conversions will emerge.
