Seyfarth to Sponsor and Dustin Lauermann and Stacy Paek to Speak at IMN's Forum on Real Estate Opportunity & Private Fund Investing

Dustin Lauermann, partner at Seyfarth's Los Angeles Downtown office, and Stacy Paek, head of Seyfarth's Los Angeles Real Estate practice, will speak at the Information Management Network (IMN)'s Annual Winter Forum on Real Estate Opportunity & Private Fund Investing in Laguna Beach, California from January 21-23. Seyfarth is also sponsoring the forum.

Dustin will serve as a panelist for "Macroeconomic Forces Shaping Real Estate in 2026" on January 21. The session will explore how post-election and shifting federal policies, regulatory and fiscal changes, migration and labor trends, and rising climate and insurance risks are converging to reshape US real estate investment strategies, capital flows, and market valuations in 2026.

Stacy will serve as the moderator for "Restructuring Lessons: Past Cycles, Present Realities" on January 23. This panel will examine how today's environment of elevated interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, and surging insurance costs is redefining workout strategies - covering when restructuring is the right move, how lender and borrower dynamics shape outcomes, and which lessons from past downturns remain relevant in navigating the next 18 months.
