Polsinelli announced that Philip Piecuch has joined the firm’s national Real Estate Practice in Chicago as a shareholder.

Arriving on the heels of another real estate shareholder hire in Chicago earlier this month, his addition reflects the firm’s continued investment and momentum in the market and further builds on Polsinelli’s real estate joint ventures bench. 

Piecuch concentrates his practice on real estate joint ventures and strategic alliances, working with developers, lenders and joint venture partners on transactions involving complex structures and tight closing timelines. He regularly represents clients in the negotiation and structuring of joint ventures, programmatic partnerships and co-general partner arrangements, often involving institutional investors, private equity funds and leading developers and operators. His work spans acquisition, financing and development to leasing and disposition of commercial real estate assets. 

His arrival also underscores Polsinelli’s continued Real Estate Practice growth from coast to coast, following the additions of Daniel S. North and Kristopher J. Stark in Chicago, David S. Rubenstein in Seattle, an eight-lawyer team in New York led by Rob Koonin, Matthew L. Friedrich in Los Angeles and Barbara A. Trachtenberg in Boston. 

Piecuch has substantial experience across a wide range of property types, including office buildings, multifamily properties, student housing, industrial facilities, mixed-use developments and retail centers throughout the United States. He earned his J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law and his B.A. from Drake University.
