    Real Estate

    /My focus

    I assist clients with many aspects of general real estate and affordable housing transactions—including reviewing materials related to acquisition, rehabilitation, and organizational documents; analyzing title work and drafting legal and closing documents; and interacting with clients, lenders, investors, and governmental agencies to obtain the approvals necessary to facilitate these transactions.

    Having worked as a municipal planner prior to becoming an attorney, I have extensive experience analyzing land use ordinances and navigating project permitting processes. I regularly represent developers before municipal boards on land use and zoning matters.

    /Looking ahead

    Our relationship with the built environment has changed radically. I anticipate developers and governments taking this opportunity to reimagine their approaches to land use with the goal of keeping communities safe and connected.
