Brett Lavoie is a practical, results-driven attorney representing owners, operators, developers, and investors on a broad range of commercial real estate transactions, with a focus on the acquisition, disposition, development and financing of hotel, office, industrial, multifamily and mixed-use properties. Brett has extensive experience advising developers and investors alike in structuring and executing development and financing strategies for new construction projects, including the negotiation of joint ventures, debt and equity financing arrangements, and a variety of development-related agreements with adjacent landowners and governmental entities. Brett also represents landlords in the leasing of office, industrial and retail properties, including ground leases and build-to-suit leases.
As a native of Salem, Massachusetts, Brett inherited an affinity for witches and a life-long passion for the Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots. He is also a voracious reader of history and (after discovering his inner geek while reading A Game of Thrones in 2011) stories involving swords, dragons and magic. But Brett’s happiest moments typically involve hanging out with his wife and their very cute, very bad dog.
