International law firm Dorsey & Whitney LLP has hired Bradley Williams as a partner at the firm’s Minneapolis Real Estate & Land Use practice group.
Williams’s practice focuses on a broad range of transactional, litigation and other matters involving real estate, construction, financings, mergers, receivership, foreclosure, bankruptcy, tenant-in-common (TIC) disputes, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), fraud, unfair trade practices, arbitration and mediation.
His extensive experience includes: representation of individuals, as well as regional and major national clients, in large and small transactions, including financings, purchases/sales, developments and mergers; representation of securities underwriters in tax-exempt municipal financings; representation of 501(c)(3) charitable organizations in public-private partnership, real estate developments and financings; representation of creditors/investors in bankruptcies; commercial litigation, including real estate and shareholder matters, workouts and restructuring. His extensive expertise has made him a nationally known attorney and frequent commentator in news publications, including The Wall Street Journal.
Williams joins Dorsey from Best & Flanagan LLP, where he was a partner in that firm’s Commercial Real Estate, Transactions and Litigation practice. He has a B.A. degree from the University of Northern Iowa and a J.D. degree from the University of Iowa College of Law.
“Brad’s expertise and experience will complement Dorsey’s strong, multi-office Real Estate & Land Use practice,” said Bill Stoeri, managing partner of Dorsey & Whitney. “His addition to the group, which has grown dramatically in the last five years, is further evidence of our commitment to the real estate, construction, development and infrastructure industries both nationally and worldwide. We have strong client relationships, extraordinary legal experience and deep industry knowledge in these fields.”
Williams said he was looking forward to joining the firm’s team of real estate lawyers.
“Dorsey’s platform provides tremendous opportunities to grow client relationships,” he said.
