Law Firm Launches Two New RE Groups

NEW YORK CITY-The specialties focusing on disaster recovery and utilization of corporate real estate are industry firsts, says Dewey & LeBoeuf's Saft.

NEW YORK CITY-As the newly minted chair of his firm’s global real estate practice, Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP partner Stuart M. Saft is emphasizing creativity. That applies both to helping clients address the issues facing the industry and also to making the best use of the law firm’s resources.

To that end, Saft is launching two new practice specialties: a fully integrated Strategic Utilization of Real Estate (SURE) group advising corporate and non-profit clients on their real estate holdings, and a group known as the Disaster Assistance and Recovery Team, or DART. Dewy & LeBoeuf says it’s the first time a major law firm is including these types of specific practice as part of its services.

Saft tells GlobeSt.com that the firm has extensive experience in both areas, “and what I’ve done is come out with specialties that play to our strengths. One is disaster assistance and recovery, which comes out of our experience representing the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. at Ground Zero, as well as shopping center and office clients who have had roofs collapse and fires.”
