Erin focuses on real estate work, particularly in the renewable energy sector. Erin’s interest in real estate and development stems from a desire to shape communities and create a tangible, lasting impact. Growing up with a father who was a home builder, she understands the role property plays in a community on a visceral level, and she’s excited to help clients build their businesses through real estate.

Here’s what you need to know to ensure compliance in your lease agreements.
