Choate, Hall & Stewart

Real Estate

Principal

Matt Mortensen represents owners, developers, and investors in the acquisition, disposition, investment, and development of a broad range of real estate assets, including digital infrastructure (data centers), multifamily, industrial, research and laboratory, retail, office, and luxury residential properties. His work also includes advising both limited partners and general partners in complex real estate investment structures.

Matt brings a practical, on the ground understanding of core real estate fundamentals (the “dirt”) that informs his diligence and deal strategy, enabling him to approach transactions with context and insight rather than negotiating transaction documents in isolation.  He is committed not only to providing sound, reliable legal counsel but also to empowering clients to achieve their business and investment objectives by taking ownership of their challenges and developing thoughtful, creative solutions.

Matt frequently collaborates with colleagues across the firm, including Choate’s finance and restructuring group on asset based lending matters, the private equity and M&A teams on real estate components of corporate transactions, and Choate Wealth in advising high-net-worth clients on all types of real estate investments.
