Representative Matters
Commercial Real Estate
Represented a prominent South Florida real estate investment group in connection with the acquisition of a commercial real estate portfolio consisting of 12 properties located in three different states, occupied by national commercial tenants. Our work involved complex diligence matters and drafting customary and complex real estate acquisition documents.
We represented PEBB Enterprises and BH Group in their $48.5 million joint venture acquisition of a prime waterfront shopping center in Fort Lauderdale that will be redeveloped to include 361 housing units. Our representation included work within the corporate, commercial real estate and financing aspects of the transaction. Our corporate team drafted and negotiated the JV and a subsequent JV with The Related Group, a luxury residential real estate developer, while the commercial real estate and financing teams assisted with due diligence, financing and closing of the transaction with a large Florida-based bank.
Corporate & Business Transactions
Advised portfolio company of an investment manager headquartered in New York in connection with its roll-up acquisition of several gaming sites in Georgia, including negotiation of documentation and licensing with the Georgia Lottery Commission.
Served as investor counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of two companion joint ventures entered into with a family office real estate acquisition and management group. The joint ventures were formed for the purpose of acquiring three parcels of prominently situated property in downtown Houston, Texas, including two parcels consisting of office buildings intended to qualify as qualified opportunity zone (QOZ) property. Our representation also included structuring the investor’s companion investment entities that were formed for the purpose of holding the QOZ partnership interest and non-QOZ partnership interest in the joint ventures and preparing the investment entities’ Rule 506(b) syndication offering documents.
Banking & Finance

Business Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Defended a MarTech company in breach of contract litigation filed in an unfriendly federal district, resulting in the plaintiff’s payment of a six-figure settlement to our client prior to being required to file an answer. We immediately engaged in voluntary disclosure of information pre-discovery to demonstrate facts disproving the plaintiff’s case and forcing a settlement without our client incurring the added cost, expense, and time associated with discovery and protracted litigation.
Earned summary judgment in favor of seller of high-end real estate involved in dispute over default of a purchase and sales agreement. Though the buyer contended he was still entitled to purchase the property in addition to receiving monetary damages for the default, we successfully argued that our client’s fulfillment of the monetary damages stipulated in the contract completed his obligations.
