Real estate attorney Kathryn Goldberger has joined Holland & Knight’s West Palm Beach office as a partner. She is a member of the firm’s Real Estate Section, one of the largest in the country. She was previously in-house counsel at Westbrook Partners, a global real estate private equity firm, where she oversaw the acquisition, development, financing and disposition of the properties within the firm’s investment portfolio.
Ms. Goldberger is rejoining her former colleagues, Holland & Knight real estate attorneys Daniel Faust, Adam Zwecker and Jason Vaupen, who recently joined the firm as partners in Miami. She focuses her practice on joint venture transactions, representing capital sources, operating partners, developers, controlling parties and minority interest-holders in a variety of multitiered structures. Ms. Goldberger also has extensive experience representing clients in the acquisition and development of multifamily, for-sale residential, industrial, office and hospitality properties, including related acquisition and construction financings.
“Kathryn has a reputation for providing exceptional service to clients on highly complex matters,” said Joe Guay, leader of the firm’s national Real Estate Section. “For the past several years, she has advised a multibillion-dollar investment fund on a wide spectrum of real estate, corporate and fund formation issues. She has the experience and insight to advise the firm’s growing number of private equity clients in the future.”
“Kathryn is a best-in-class transactional attorney, and we’re extremely fortunate to reunite with her as partners at Holland & Knight,” said Mr. Faust. “Her impressive skillset in real estate joint ventures and significant legal experience in New York and South Florida are the perfect complement and natural addition to our real estate practice. With Kathryn on board, we immediately expand our team’s bandwidth and substantive capabilities, allowing us to better service increasing demand while also strengthening our platform for future growth together.”
“At Holland & Knight, I’ll be surrounded by incredibly talented and hardworking individuals with nationwide resources at our disposal,” said Ms. Goldberger. “I am excited for the opportunity to work with my former colleagues to help our clients build strong foundations for their investments and transformative projects in South Florida and across the United States.”
Ms. Goldberger earned a J.D. degree from Georgetown University Law Center and a B.A. degree from Barnard College. She is admitted to practice in both Florida and New York.
With nearly 300 lawyers nationally, Holland & Knight’s Real Estate Section is one of the largest of any U.S. law firm. The practice is ranked among the nation’s best by Chambers USA, which notes the firm’s strength in representing clients on complex mixed-use developments and hospitality projects, as well as its land use and zoning experience.
