Legal powerhouse Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP has expanded its real estate and infrastructure practices by adding two seasoned partners, Wendy Dodson Gallegos and Jason Wagenmaker, to its Chicago office. The firm announced the move on Monday.
Gallegos brings a wealth of experience advising real estate private equity firms and sector-specific operators across the U.S., Asia-Pacific, and Europe. Her practice focuses on forming open-end and closed-end private equity funds pursuing diverse real estate-related investment strategies. Wagenmaker, on the other hand, specializes in guiding investors and corporations through intricate infrastructure M&A matters, including transactions related to transportation, digital infrastructure, energy, and real estate.
The two attorneys join Akin Gump from Mayer Brown. Their addition signals the firm’s continued dedication to strengthening its capabilities in key markets and positioning itself as a leader in high-stakes real estate and infrastructure legal services.
