Real Estate Transactions

Erica works closely with her property development and investor clients in the purchase, sale, and financing of commercial real estate across a broad range of asset classes. She has experience in representing both buyers and sellers throughout all aspects of a deal, including entity formation, drafting governance and authority documents, performing lien and complex title reviews, managing comprehensive due diligence, drafting purchase and sale agreements, leading deal point negotiation, and securing traditional and non-traditional financing. Erica has also assisted in mergers and acquisitions involving the acquisition and disposition of real property.

Erica also has experience in litigating and resolving real property disputes involving restrictive covenants, planned developments, zoning issues, fraudulent liens, commercial leases, and foreclosures.

Real Estate Leasing

Erica is a key member of Kegler Brown’s real estate leasing team, and represents both landlords and tenants in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex lease agreements. Her clients range from small portfolio investors and local mixed-use developers to large-scale commercial organizations and multinational retail brands across a variety of industries, including primarily fast-casual food service, retail fashion, industrial manufacturing, and office leasing.

In every negotiation, Erica works to ensure that lease terms are fair but favorable to her client, while never losing focus on the business goals at stake.
