For over 30 years, Kathryn, through her wide-ranging real estate practice, has played a key role in shaping the landscape of many of Chicago’s most diverse neighborhoods and business communities. She focuses in the areas of real estate development, commercial and residential condominium development and conversion, leasing, mixed-use projects and high-rise development, restaurants, vertical subdivisions and separations, and commercial financing (lender and borrower representation).

She also serves as local counsel for many out-of-state attorneys with respect to Illinois law matters.
