Amelia’s practice focuses on commercial leasing and the acquisition and sale of commercial properties across the United States. With more than fifteen years of experience in the commercial real estate industry—both as in-house counsel and in private practice—she brings a practical and sophisticated understanding of the complex legal and business issues that arise throughout the life cycle of a commercial property.

As in-house counsel for a prominent regional real estate developer, Amelia oversaw the initial lease-up and ongoing legal management of several large, mixed-use projects. In that role, she worked closely with property management teams to address operational issues, managed outside counsel in litigation matters, and supported all aspects of project operations. Later, as General Counsel and Director of Real Estate for a Northeast restaurant group, Amelia was responsible for site selection, leasing, acquisitions, and daily operational matters across the company’s portfolio.

Having “lived with her deals” long after closing, Amelia offers clients a unique perspective—she understands not only how to close transactions efficiently, but also how they function in practice. This insight allows her to anticipate issues, streamline negotiations, and deliver pragmatic, business-oriented solutions that move deals to completion smoothly and effectively.

Amelia has also represented clients in the purchase and sale of numerous shopping centers, office buildings, industrial properties, and stand-alone triple-net (NNN) assets. Her work has included structuring joint ventures, preparing private placement materials, and resolving complex title and due diligence issues.
