Representative Matters

· Complex acquisition and development of a five-star luxury hotel, apartment, condominium and retail facility in Boston as part of an existing urban multi-use development built over a freeway. The acquisition has been structured as a ground lease during the construction phase, with a multiparty cross-easement agreement to tie in the project with the surrounding development.

· The development of a two-phase multifamily condominium development in Brookline, Massachusetts, including site assemblage and acquisition, zoning approvals, condominium documents, environmental issues and construction contracts, as well as obtaining both acquisition, construction and mezzanine financing for the project.

· Counsel to the founder of a real estate and development company in a $16 million buyout of his longtime partners in the business. The transaction was structured, in essence, as a leveraged buyout, with the company borrowing funds in a blanket loan against the company's real estate interests, and using the funds to buy out the partners.

· Counsel to a health, swimming and tennis club and summer camp on property in Concord, Massachusetts, in a complex series of real estate transactions totaling approximately $15 million. The camp was proving to no longer be adequate, and the client sought to relocate to a larger, undeveloped site elsewhere in Concord. Relocation was structured as a tax-free like kind exchange, pursuant to which the company sold its existing site to a residential developer and purchased the new site from a pension fund and redeveloped it as its new facility.

· Counsel to a wealthy individual dedicated to the preservation of land in his hometown in Massachusetts. After plans to construct a multi-unit housing development on a 60-acre farm in the town began to fall through, we were retained to assist the client in acquiring the property from the owner, while settling claims with the prior developer, in placing a permanent conservation restriction on most of the land, in donating a large portion of it to the Town, and in selling the house on the land, restricted by the conservation restriction. This transaction was precedent-setting in the community, and led to the revitalization of the Town's land trust.

· Counsel to owner of a multi-building office complex in Concord, Massachusetts in a $26 million disposition matter. Disposition was structured as a merger into a publicly traded REIT, which acquired the properties by merging our client's corporation into the REIT in exchange for stock in the REIT.

· Counsel to a real estate company that owns an historic building in the center of Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A major tenant wished to expand its commercial business space. We negotiated and executed a new lease to accommodate the expansion, and created a mechanism to permit the expansion to occur while the store continued in full operation, and while major structural alterations were performed in the building.

· Counsel to specialized finance company in a restructuring of a construction loan granted by the client for the conversion of a factory into senior housing. The borrower was in default and without sufficient funds to complete the project or pay off the client. A restructuring of the loan was arranged, providing for additional funds from another lending source, the creation of a condominium and further protections for the client.

Daniel B. Winslow (Partner) born 1958; admitted to bar, 1983, Massachusetts; U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts; U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit. Education: Tufts University (B.A., magna cum laude, 1980); Boston College Law School (J.D., cum laude, 1983).

Daniel B. Winslow is a trial lawyer and a problem solver who helps clients accomplish their business goals. Prior to joining Duane Morris, Mr. Winslow was chief legal counsel to then-Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and was previously a presiding justice and appellate division justice in the Massachusetts Trial Court.

Based on his broad leadership experience in both the private and public sectors, Mr. Winslow concentrates his practice in three areas: trial, outside general counsel services and corporate strategies.

As a trial lawyer and a former Massachusetts trial court judge, Mr. Winslow understands the value of creative advocacy in persuading a judge or jury to decide in a client's favor. His trial practice encompasses complex civil and criminal cases for individuals and corporations, including bet-the-company litigation and ADR involving commercial disputes, state and federal administrative law, corporate compliance, intellectual property, consumer protection, products liability, procurement and white-collar criminal defense. He represents clients in a range of industries, including construction, energy, environmental, insurance, automotive and real estate.

Mr. Winslow has been cited by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly newspaper as one of the 35 most influential lawyers in Massachusetts in the past 35 years. Recognized as a Super Lawyer in Massachusetts by Law & Politics magazine, Mr. Winslow also has been named one of the nation's Top 500 Trial Lawyers by Lawdragon Magazine.

Mr. Winslow's practice also encompasses outside general counsel services. As the former chief legal counsel to former Governor Romney, Mr. Winslow oversaw a team of more than 800 in-house and outside counsel; the largest legal practice in the commonwealth. Mr. Winslow now serves as outside general counsel to companies that operate without an in-house legal department or in combination with corporate legal departments seeking to leverage the practice depth and geographic reach of Duane Morris. As outside general counsel, Mr. Winslow has assisted corporate clients in areas as varied as HIPAA, patent prosecution and litigation, trademark and copyright, telecommunications, investment banking, internet and entertainment law, internal investigations, LNG and energy law, project development, healthcare law, litigation audits and improving outside counsel procurement practices.

Innovation is the key to corporate competitiveness in the global marketplace. In the corporate strategies area of his practice, Mr. Winslow works closely with management to identify and achieve innovative results, cost savings and revenue maximization. Whether designing a conflict prevention and resolution strategy, coordinating legal and media strategies, creating legislative or administrative public policy solutions, developing internal compliance and training policies, assessing and preventing risk, or capturing opportunity, Mr. Winslow is a lawyer who gets things done.

Katherine Young Fergus (Associate) born Bangor, Maine, March 3, 1972; admitted to bar, 1997, Maine and Massachusetts; United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Education: Suffolk University Law School (J.D., 1997).

Katherine Young Fergus practices in the area of general civil litigation, including commercial, business, healthcare, insurance, intellectual property and litigation involving real estate. Admitted to practice in Massachusetts and Maine, she has litigated multimillion-dollar business disputes, tort cases and healthcare matters, including class actions. Ms. Fergus has represented a diverse range of clients in a wide variety of matters in the state and federal courts. Since 2005, Ms. Fergus has been selected by her peers as a Massachusetts Rising Star in business litigation, a distinction reserved for those deemed to be among the top up-and-coming lawyers 40 years old and younger in Massachusetts.

Ms. Fergus has assisted clients in avoiding protracted litigation and trial. In a recent matter, she petitioned the trial court to permit the filing of a motion for summary judgment based on lack of affirmative evidence of negligence on the part of her client, a commercial shopping center and owner. The trial court granted her subsequent motion for summary judgment, which she defended on appeal in front of the Massachusetts Appeals Court. This resulted in final judgment of dismissal of all counts of the plaintiff's complaint in an action involving a plaintiff with significant personal injuries and medical expenses of over $1.4 million.

Ms. Fergus has also tried cases to final verdict. In 2007, she obtained a jury verdict for an individual with a difficult quantum meruit claim that resulted in a significant damages award for lost wages over a twenty-year period. Notwithstanding the absence of any writing to support the existence of an agreement for the payment of wages, Ms. Fergus persuaded a jury of twelve that her client was entitled to payment for her efforts on behalf of the defendants.

Ms. Fergus is a member of the Woman Advocate Committee of the American Bar Association, where she serves as the chair of the Balancing Work and Home Subcommittee. She is also a Pacesetter for the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, an honor she received for her fundraising efforts on behalf of that organization in connection with her role as captain of Team NSF.

Ms. Fergus is a 1997 magna cum laude graduate of Suffolk University Law School and a 1994 graduate of Bowdoin College.
