Eversheds Sutherland is pleased to announce that Nicole L. Fenton has joined the New York office as a partner in the Real Estate Practice group. Ms. Fenton is the fourth high-profile addition to the group in recent weeks. Ms. Fenton, previously a shareholder at Greenberg Traurig, brings 25 years of experience to Eversheds Sutherland with a successful transactional real estate practice focused on counseling US and non-US investors on investments across the country.
“With a wide array of experience and deep ties in New York’s business community, Nicole is a key member of our growing Real Estate practice,” said Mark D. Wasserman, Co-CEO of Eversheds Sutherland. “Like others on our team, Nicole has an impressive reputation and background, both of which are of great service to our clients in New York and globally.”
Ms. Fenton has significant experience advising developers, joint ventures and funds in real estate acquisition, financing, development and leasing. Additionally, she has counseled many institutions in a broad range of commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions, development, construction and mezzanine financing, joint ventures and preferred equity investments.
In addition to Ms. Fenton, Eversheds Sutherland recently added Real Estate partner John Busillo in New York. Additionally, John Benson, a Real Estate partner based in Atlanta, will move to New York this summer. “Nicole is an enthusiastic and ambitious lawyer who will help us expand our New York real estate practice,” said Victor P. Haley, co-head of Global Real Estate and Planning. “Nicole’s background on the equity side combined with John Busillo’s real estate lending practice and John Benson’s structured finance practice give us a full-service offering in New York.”
Along with expansion in New York, the Real Estate team also established a presence in Chicago last month with the addition of Marc Benjamin and Susan Kai, who are founding partners of Eversheds Sutherland’s new outpost in Chicago.
