Capital markets is at the heart of Greenberg Traurig, LLP‘s REIT practice with its caseload consisting largely of private, initial and follow-on offerings. Another key feature of the practice is its expertise in structuring the formation of private and public REITs. Operating out of New York, team head Joseph Herz, who co-chairs the team with Robert Ivanhoe, is the first port of call at the firm for providing REIT clients with corporate and securities counsel. The unit is praised as being ’a team of all stars’, with Herz at the helm of a panoply of debt and equity matters, acting for both issuers and underwriters. Over in Boston, Jennifer Weiss represents traded REITs, public non-traded REITs and private REITs on the structuring of an array of complex tax-oriented commercial transactions alongside New York-based Timothy Donovan with in-depth knowledge of the federal income taxation of real estate investment trusts (REITs). Also in the New York REITs tax space, Carl Riley is a name to note.
