Kronish Lieb Launches New Practice – The Structured Real Estate Investments Group
Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman LLP today announced the formation of a new practice, the Structured Real Estate Investments Group. Corporate partner Chet F. Lipton and Real Estate partner Thomas D. O'Connor will serve as Co-chairs of the Group.

The Group will assist Kronish clients in securing financing, gaining access to capital markets and finding transaction opportunities.

Transactions addressed by the Structured Real Estate Investments Group involve real estate located in the U.S. and in any number of foreign countries. The Group works closely with the Firm's internationally recognized Tax group to devise and implement tax efficient structures which address U.S. and foreign tax concerns.

The accumulated experience of the Structured Real Estate Investments Group includes a broad array of institutional and private clients in connection with structured real estate matters. There are 13 attorneys in the Group.

Mr. Lipton has over 26 years experience handling the corporate aspects of real estate transactions, including public and private real estate syndications, joint ventures, acquisitions, collateralized debt obligations and common and preferred equity investments in real estate ventures.
