Mayer Brown

Mayer Brown‘s REIT offering blends together capital markets, M&A and corporate governance expertise. The team is frequently engaged as underwriters’ counsel for various public REITs. Drawing on the firm’s wider expertise in residential mortgage securitization, the practice is a go-to for mortgage REITs.  Practice head and capital markets lawyer Anna Pinedo concentrates on financing matters and securities. David Freed is intimately familiar with equity and mortgage REITs, assisting with private placements, IPOs, and follow-on offerings. REIT issuers, sponsors and investment banks rely upon Brian Hirshberg for his expertise in public equity and debt offerings. All three lawyers operate out of New York and are supported by Chicago-based Haukur Gudmundsson, who is well-versed in securitizations and structured finance transactions, and Susannah Schmid who handles mortgage loan transactions. Capital markets expert Jason Parsont joined the firm from Clifford Chance in September 2024.
