DLA Piper welcomes Stacie Trott as a partner in the Real Estate group

DLA Piper is pleased to welcome New York-based partner Stacie Trott to the firm’s Real Estate group. Stacie will act as the Co-Chair of the firm’s New York Real Estate Practice and as the Co-Chair of the firm’s Global Real Estate Practice.

Stacie focuses her practice on highly structured corporate and commercial real estate transactions, with an emphasis on European and Asian cross-border matters. She advises institutional private equity firms, global investment managers and real estate investment funds in complex joint ventures, acquisitions, dispositions and financings of office, hotel, multi-family, logistics, industrial, storage and retail assets.

Some of her notable experience includes representing a global investment manager in the acquisition, joint venture and financing of leasehold interests in a portfolio of hotels located in Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Turkey with more than 400 employees and assuming nearly EUR40 million in commitments; representing an institutional private equity firm in the acquisition, joint venture, development and financing of a US$143 million multi-family residential community in the UK; and representing a US investment advisor in the acquisition, joint venture, development and financing of 289 unit multi-family residential communities in Ireland.

“Given the cross border and sophisticated nature of her practice, Stacie is a tremendous addition to our market-leading global real estate practice and will be an important part of our leadership team,” said John Sullivan, chair of the US Real Estate group and co-chair of the US and Global Real Estate sectors. 

“Growing the size of our real estate presence in New York is a strategic priority of the firm, and Stacie’s addition to our real estate team will further our ability to serve the needs of our clients both in New York and around the world,” said Cara Edwards, managing partner of the New York office.
