In a move that amplifies Sheppard Mullin’s strength in the real estate, energy, land use, and environmental sectors, partners Lorie Soares Lazarus and Peter David Ballance have joined the firm’s practice group based in Silicon Valley and Century City, California. This news was confirmed by the firm earlier this week.
Lazarus, now serving in Silicon Valley, brings with her valuable expertise in representing real estate investors in commercial real estate transactional matters. Ballance, relocating to Century City, has a remarkable record in providing counsel to institutional lenders, financial institutions, developers and property owners on matters of commercial real estate financing.
Prior to this move, both Lazarus and Ballance had been practicing at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan. There, they gained the wealth of experience that enabled them to serve prominent clients and handle complex cases. Now at Sheppard Mullin, their wealth of experience will not only enrich the firm’s real estate and financial services expertise but also expand the capacity to serve a larger client base.
