Christine Noelle Fitzgerald

Exceptional guidance through a complex commercial property purchase

I engaged Christine Fitzgerald at Katten to assist with the acquisition of a mixed-use building in San Diego, a transaction fraught with zoning and title complexities. Despite her relatively recent start at the firm, her depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. She leveraged her foundational experience in real estate law, an area where she has already gained recognition, to navigate the due diligence process with remarkable precision. Christine’s approach was both meticulous and strategic; she anticipated issues with the existing tenant leases that our previous counsel had missed and crafted solutions that protected our investment without derailing the closing timeline. Her professionalism in coordinating with all parties—sellers, brokers, and city officials—was seamless. What stood out was her ability to distill complex legal jargon into clear, actionable advice, making us feel confident and informed at every stage. The transaction closed smoothly, and her proactive counsel has positioned our asset for long-term success. Her education from Loyola Marymount and her practical, client-focused mindset make her an invaluable asset.
