Gary leads the firm’s Mortgage Finance practice and is featured among The Best Lawyers in America (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011) for his structured finance practice.

Gary’s transactional practice spans the areas of structured finance and mortgage finance, commercial real estate and business acquisitions and dispositions.
