“Michael is an excellent addition to our New York office and to our national Real Estate practice group,” said Todd Mason, partner in charge of the firm’s New York office. “His sophisticated practice encompasses a wide variety of deals, and he has an impressive roster of long-standing client relationships that have grown with him. That level of trust and partnership with clients on expanding their business is key to the lawyer-client relationship.”

Samuels represents a broad range of clients nationally, including property owners, real estate equity investors, corporations, major financial institutions, pension funds, developers, commercial tenants, and high-net-worth individuals. He counsels clients in an array of industries and is well-versed in a wide variety of real estate transactions, including acquisitions, sales, leasing, financings, and development of large multifamily apartment projects, trophy office buildings, mixed-use developments, and commercial properties across the country.

Samuels also has considerable experience advising clients on property management-related issues and representing both landlords and tenants in negotiating significant office, retail, industrial, warehouse, and garage leases and other agreements and documentation involving building ownership and landlord/tenant relationships.

<a>“I am excited to be joining the team of skilled and dynamic attorneys in </a>Thompson Hine’s real estate practice group. The firm’s commitment to innovation and its thoughtful process of handling client representation were particularly attractive to me,” said Samuels of his move to the firm. “The firm’s focus on proactively providing clients with efficient and transparent service, as well as its fostering a collegial environment and team-oriented approach, position it well. I am looking forward to working together with my new colleagues in providing stellar representation to our clients as they navigate new opportunities.”

Samuels also noted that he was eager to work with Project Management Consultants (PMC), Thompson Hine’s wholly owned subsidiary comprising licensed architects, engineers, construction managers, financial strategists, and experienced construction lawyers. PMC provides unique services including design and construction partnering facilitation and mediation, owner’s representation, project and risk management consulting, and public and private finance consulting. Samuels commented that the firm was forward-thinking to have developed such a resource.

Samuels earned his J.D. from University of Pennsylvania Law School and his B.A., <em>summa cum laude</em>, from Yeshiva University.
