Biography

Having represented businesses in hundreds of commercial real estate and loan transactions for nearly 20 years, Tom really knows the interests and concerns of real estate developers and investors and banks. That expertise comes from a wealth of experience in all phases of real estate development—from pre-development planning, land acquisition, and permitting and approvals, to construction, financing, leasing, and eventual sale.

Tom’s insight and frank, detail-oriented approach make him a powerful ally for clients, who can rely on him not only for expert legal counsel, but also seasoned business guidance for all their commercial real estate matters.

Tom is also very experienced in:
  • Condominium and other planned unit development
