NEW YORK CITY—DLA Piper has re-hired Kerry Johnson to serve as a partner in the firm's finance and real estate capital markets practices here.
Johnson arrives from Hunton & Williams, where she was a partner. Prior to that, she was based in DLA Piper's Raleigh, NC office.
Johnson's practice is focused on securities offerings, M&A, corporate governance and general corporate law, primarily involving exchange-listed REITs and underwriters. She also advises public companies on corporate governance and compliance matters, in addition to capital raising, investment and other strategic transactions.
“Kerry has become a highly regarded practitioner in the real estate and securities industries,” says John Cusack, global co-chair of DLA Piper's finance practice and co-chair of the US real estate capital markets practice. “Her background will bolster our corporate and capital markets practice capabilities and be an asset to REITS and others involved with public offerings, SEC matters and corporate transactions.”
“With Kerry's representation of REITS and their underwriters, Kerry is an ideal fit for our corporate and finance practices in New York and nationally,” adds Heidi Levine, co-managing partner of the firm's New York office. “We are pleased to welcome her back to the firm where she began her legal career.”
