Engaging Nancy Olson for our firm's acquisition of a mixed-use development in Chicago's West Loop was a pivotal decision. While her general practice background is broad, her deep, specific expertise in real estate law was immediately apparent. She navigated a labyrinth of zoning ordinances, title issues, and intricate financing terms with remarkable precision. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in Real Estate Law is clearly well-deserved. Nancy anticipated challenges we hadn't considered, particularly around environmental compliance for the historic component of the property, and structured the transaction to protect our interests thoroughly. Her professionalism at Skadden is matched by a personal commitment to client communication; she was always accessible and explained complex legal concepts with clarity. The deal closed seamlessly, and her strategic counsel was instrumental in securing favorable terms. I would not hesitate to recommend her for sophisticated real estate matters.
