2025 Ones To Watch - Industry Leaders: <br>Marianna Shafir, Esq., Avenue Law Firm

Recent goal and impact:

Our firm recently expanded our real estate law services to New Jersey, significantly increasing our transaction volume in areas outside NYC, including Westchester, Long Island, and the Hamptons. This strategic expansion has enabled us to serve a broader client base, addressing more diverse and complex property transactions. The impact on our firm has been profound, strengthening our market presence and enhancing our ability to manage significant deals across these key regions.

Turning problems into opportunities: 

In a recent complex real estate transaction, our client faced difficulties in securing financing. Recognizing this challenge, we successfully restructured the deal to include a short-term loan provided by the seller on very favorable terms, along with a significant reduction in the purchase price. This creative solution not only facilitated the completion of the transaction but also enhanced the financial benefits for our client.
