More About Elizabeth
Real estate deals—acquisitions, dispositions, refinancing, and investment opportunities—require due diligence, transactional documents, and execution of closing. Clients look to Elizabeth to help get the deal closed with efficiency and accuracy. It's her role to quarterback these deals by gathering a team, doing the work, and moving everything along until closing.
Elizabeth represents clients locally and nationally in the acquisition, disposition, leasing, and financing of commercial properties, and on the real estate-related aspects of corporate transactions. She has significant experience representing health care clients in real estate transactions, with a focus on health care properties in the senior housing sector. This includes negotiation of operating leases, sale/leaseback transactions, obtaining acquisition, and/or HUD financing and refinancings.
Elizabeth also has substantial experience representing lenders in the structuring and closing of loan transactions across the country, including mortgage and mezzanine loan transactions for securitization in the capital markets, asset-based and cash-flow lending, subordinated debt, and mezzanine transactions.
Elizabeth played team sports her whole life, and finds that the transactional real estate practice is very much a team sport. She is used to working hard, leading the team, keeping everyone informed as to what's going on, and moving the deal forward. While the actual deals are diverse and her day-to-day varies quite a lot, so much of what the team does requires making a plan, executing the plan efficiently and effectively, and then calmly dealing with the bumps along the way.
Elizabeth keeps deals moving along smoothly, and ensures teams operate at peak efficiency. She uses the firm's due diligence HUB, run out of the Atlanta office, which offers top talent at lower billable rates. The HUB team is an incredible asset to the firm nationally.
Elizabeth is appreciative of the "long hallways" at Seyfarth, working seamlessly across offices to close deals all over the country. Interoffice collaboration allows her to bring together team members with different areas of experience and local law knowledge, so she can address any client need or deal-specific matter.
"I am grateful for our clients bringing us in as partners in their work—discussing their long-term business goals and allowing us to help facilitate those goals. I enjoy that we work with clients who see us in a role beyond the closing—looking towards the pipeline and long-term objectives for their companies. I enjoy having a small part in achieving those goals and being a part of that future vision."
