Gary is a career real estate lawyer handling some of the largest and most complex real estate transactions in the country. He represents large technology companies and office, retail, industrial, medical, and residential developers and investors in a wide range of projects including data center and digital infrastructure projects across the United States, Canada, and internationally.
Public and privately held companies rely on Gary to structure and negotiate complex transactions. For example, he was the lead lawyer for the acquisition of a skyscraper in Chicago that was, at the time, the largest single asset transaction in the history of Chicago. He also handled one of the largest land transactions in the history of California when Gary structured the sale of over 437,000 acres of land to the Bureau of Land Management and a private conservancy.
In the last three years alone, Gary has structured development, acquisition, disposition and investment deals totaling multiple billions of dollars. Gary is also involved in some of the most high-profile active digital infrastructure construction projects across the United States and Canada.
Gary is one of the leading transactional development and construction experts on the West Coast and has authored a chapter on construction management issues for legal publisher Mathew Bender. He has lectured on construction matters for graduate schools at USC, UCLA and UCI and has written numerous articles covering such subjects as "Organizing and Planning a Project" and "The Role of Construction and Development Management."
