The New York office of global law firm K&L Gates LLP has added Sheri P. Chromow as a partner in the real estate investment, development, and finance practice. Chromow joins K&L Gates from Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP.
With experience in a wide range of transactions both domestic and abroad, Chromow’s real estate practice focuses on structured, syndicated, securitized, and construction financings; workouts and restructurings; public and private real estate investment trusts and joint ventures; and hotel development, management, and financing projects. Her representations have included advising senior lenders in the restructuring of a $1 billion property portfolio loan in California and a $470 million loan on a Las Vegas property, assisting a contractor in the construction and installation of a Ferris wheel on City of New York-leased land, and counseling a joint venture on the site acquisition and construction of a SoHo hotel and office facility.
“Sheri is a seasoned and well-connected lawyer who not only understands the dynamics of the New York real estate market but the national and global markets as a whole,” said John A. Bicks, administrative partner of K&L Gates’ New York office. “Her arrival marks another significant step in the firm’s ongoing expansion of its real estate capabilities in New York.”
Chromow is the fifth partner or of counsel addition to K&L Gates’ New York office this year, following the earlier arrivals of investment management partners Peter Shea, Robert Sichel, and Derek Steingarten and tax-exempt organizations/nonprofit institutions lawyer Dorothy Robinson.
