Overview

Gianna handles real estate matters, including drafting and reviewing leases, amendments, and transactional documents for property development and management.

A legal career appealed to Gianna because of a strong interest in research, reading, and writing. She knew this was a field where analytical skills could be used to help clients navigate complex issues and transactions with confidence. 

Real estate stood out as a practice area because of its tangible results and the ability to see the direct impact of legal work on the built environment. Gianna appreciates the contract-focused nature of real estate, finding satisfaction in working with documents that shape real-world projects and support business goals.

During law school, Gianna gained hands-on experience through a real estate course that emphasized both the legal and business sides of deals. Participation in Moot Court Honor Society built skills in collaboration and communication, while a judicial externship provided insight into the importance of precision and detail in legal practice. Gianna knows that even a single word or sentence in a contract can make a difference—a lesson that applies to real estate work just as much as to litigation.

As a summer associate at Husch Blackwell, Gianna worked on a range of projects, including drafting lease amendments, preparing transactional documents, and conducting research across several practice areas. 

Gianna is known for strong attention to detail, clear communication, and a responsive, empathetic approach. Clients benefit from practical solutions and a seamless process from start to finish.
