She counsels clients on the formation and structuring of partnerships and limited liability companies for the purchase and financing of a wide range of real property and corporate assets. Elizabeth helps clients effectively structure joint ventures to further their business goals and routinely advises operating partners, institutional investors, developers, and other sophisticated clients in the following areas:

  • Entity formation and structuring;
