Foley & Lardner LLP announced today that the firm has significantly expanded its national Real Estate Practice Group with a team of four attorneys across each of its Texas offices. Joining Foley from Husch Blackwell, the group includes partners Tyler Johnson and Sadie Fitzpatrick in Dallas, partner Kevin Garland in Houston, and of counsel Alexandra Jashinsky in Austin. The addition of this talented team underscores the firm’s commitment to continued growth in one of the nation’s most robust markets.
“By adding this dynamic group to our Dallas, Houston, and Austin offices, Foley is deepening our platform to serve our clients’ needs in a key growth market,” said Daljit Doogal, Foley chairman and CEO. “As the economic market in Texas continues to expand, so does our need for top-notch attorneys who can navigate clients through the complexities of their real estate-related transactions. We are pleased to welcome such a sophisticated, entrepreneurial, and collaborative team and further strengthen our national real estate capabilities.”
The group represents developers, financial institutions, investors, owners, and real estate companies in all aspects of their projects, including portfolio and single-asset acquisitions, developments and redevelopments, dispositions, debt and equity financing, leasing, and property management. They offer clients a skilled partnership by leveraging their experience across most real estate products, including hospitality, resorts, industrial, master-planned single-family communities, stream and wetland mitigation banks, mixed-use, multifamily, build-to-rent, office, retail, and renewable energy facilities.
The incoming team commented, “Foley’s commitment to client service, significant resources, and collaborative culture offers us an ideal environment to expand our practices and better serve the needs of our clients both in Texas and across the country. We are excited to build upon Foley’s strong reputation and add our real estate capabilities to the firm’s full spectrum of legal services.”
