I engaged Brian Kenney of Nixon Peabody to assist with the acquisition of a multi-tenant commercial building in DC. The transaction involved intricate zoning considerations and a 1031 exchange, requiring expertise that spanned both real estate and tax law. Brian’s background, including his recognition in these specific fields by Best Lawyers, was immediately evident. He meticulously navigated the due diligence process, identified several title issues we had missed, and structured the deal in a tax-efficient manner that saved us significant capital. His advice was not only legally sound but also strategically pragmatic, clearly informed by his experience since his graduation from NYU Law. The one area where our experience wasn't perfect was in communication timelines; during the busiest weeks, responses could occasionally take a day or two. However, when we did connect, his attention to detail and command of the subject matter were exceptional. I would confidently recommend Brian for sophisticated real estate matters where tax implications are a key concern.
