Overview

Taylor advises clients on complex real estate transactions, including the acquisition, leasing, and development of commercial properties.

Taylor represents developers, operators, and investors in transactions involving both raw land and developed assets, advising on all phases of a project’s lifecycle—from entitlement, due diligence, and acquisition through financing, closing, development, and construction. Taylor also represents landlords and tenants negotiating office, warehouse, retail, and medical office building leases. Her practice spans multiple industries, so she has a keen eye for industry-specific regulatory and structural considerations.

Prior to joining the firm, Taylor served as real estate counsel for a national food and beverage distributor, where she managed leasing, acquisitions, and dispositions, along with broader corporate matters. That in-house experience informs a practical, business-oriented approach to negotiations, with an emphasis on advancing deals efficiently and avoiding unnecessary complexity. She understands the internal pressures clients face and the need to align legal strategy with broader business objectives, allowing her to tailor advice to each client’s industry and priorities.

Drawn to the tangible impact of real estate transactions, Taylor works closely with clients to navigate challenges and develop practical solutions that advance their business objectives. She is particularly adept at helping clients evaluate unfamiliar issues, providing clear, actionable guidance tailored to their goals and level of experience. Clients value her responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering high-quality work.
