Charlotte, July 11, 2012 — Real estate attorney Brian Short has been named managing shareholder of Winstead PC’s Charlotte office. Short works in Winstead’s real estate finance group and has been practicing law since 1998. His practice focuses on a variety of commercial real estate transactions and he has extensive experience in real estate finance. Short is part of a team of attorneys that has been heavily involved in the CMBS market.

Earlier this month, Winstead’s Charlotte office hired its 16th attorney, and counting staff, the office has grown to 24. Winstead, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, opened the Charlotte office to expand the firm’s practice with its large banking clients. Winstead’s real estate finance practice boasts a substantially high volume of CMBS loan work. Estimated closings for 2012 to be handled by Winstead attorneys will approach or exceed $10 billion.

Short represents clients in securitized lending, servicing, loan acquisitions, construction lending and acquisition of distressed assets. He is a member of the American Bar Association, the CREF-C, and the Mortgage Bankers Association. He has been named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers and he was honored by Winstead for a firm-wide award for excellent service and dedication.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
