Pat combines legal precision with business strategy to help clients build, finance, and monetize commercial real estate portfolios.

Sponsors, developers, and operators rely on Pat to quarterback transactions from due diligence through acquisition, financing, development, leasing, and disposition. He works closely with investors, principals, and senior executives to understand their objectives and assess risk strategically. Pat structures, negotiates, documents, and executes purchases and sales, joint ventures and equity partnerships, debt financings, management agreements, and leasing transactions across asset classes.

Pat delivers the responsiveness and sophistication clients need to grow portfolios of all sizes. He leads industrial, data center, multifamily, mixed-use, self-storage, senior housing, office, hospitality, and manufactured housing and RV community transactions. In one of his notable representations, Pat served as strategic advisor and lead transaction counsel in assembling a nearly $3 billion portfolio of 120 manufactured housing and RV resort communities.

Pat also represents banks and private credit institutions in construction, mezzanine, bridge, and permanent loans as well as credit restructurings and loan workouts. He navigates complex counterparty dynamics fluently and devises practical solutions to close transactions while preserving – and often strengthening – the relationships that drive them.

Pat previously served as general counsel to a closely held, diversified investment platform, which helped him develop the perspective to advise clients like an owner, not just a lawyer.
