• Deep familiarity with commercial leases, construction contracts, development agreements, and related real estate documents, with experience in mediation, arbitration, and trial preparation
• Prior in-house experience supporting a national retail or commercial real estate portfolio with experience managing outside counsel and multi-jurisdictional litigation portfolios preferred
