Experienced Real Estate Lawyer Focused on Real Estate Finance Transactions

Dallas, Texas, United States

About

With extensive experience in commercial real estate transactions, I advise commercial lenders and developers on major projects, from office buildings to industrial developments on raw land. My background includes advising lenders and borrowers across the country, from Texas to West Virginia. I take a thoughtful approach to transactions, helping national and regional clients negotiate acquisition agreements and finance projects, including conducting the intricate due diligence necessary to close deals. In law school, I refined my editorial skills as an articles editor with the SMU Law Review. I’m also fluent in Russian, which allows me to serve a wider range of clients.
