With a focus on corporate real estate transactions, Courtney aims to serve as a true partner to clients.
Courtney traces her interest in law to childhood, when she observed her attorney father at work and in the courtroom. As she grew up, she was drawn to the client advocacy and intellectual challenge that made his career so rewarding. However, the litigation central to her father’s practice wasn’t appealing: instead, Courtney’s collaborative skills made transactional work an excellent fit.
Today, Courtney counsels clients across a wide variety of corporate real estate issues. With an emphasis on equity investment in real estate and joint ventures, her experience includes over 12 years of acting as equity investor counsel for major financial institutions, private real estate equity firms, and tax credit syndicators in corporate real estate transactions, as well as extensive work in the areas of low-income housing tax credits and affordable housing. Courtney has significant experience assisting clients through all aspects of the corporate transaction; she excels at navigating complex transactional structures and negotiating to achieve each client’s unique business objectives and broader goals.
Courtney places a high priority on working closely with clients to minimize risk and achieve the best deal possible. She truly enjoys building relationships with clients, many of whom she has represented for years, and considers the highest compliment to be when clients view her more as a teammate than as outside counsel.
