Brent C. Shaffer

As counsel to parties involved in commercial real estate transactions, Brent Shaffer is known for using his experience of over 30 years to focus on the most essential elements and client goals of each transaction, and for his meticulous drafting of documentation to minimize misunderstandings and avoid litigation for each deal as well.  Brent takes a practical approach, based largely on his extensive understanding of the reasoning behind common deal requirements.

As commercial real estate transactions grow increasingly complex — with more mixed-use projects, more investors in the debt stack, and more regulation affecting every aspect — Brent’s clients rely on him for the advocacy and documentation they need to protect their interests.
