Doug Cornelius’s Summary

I am a senior attorney in Goodwin Procter’s Real Estate Group, helping clients invest in real estate through a variety of investment vehicles. I have considerable experience with the use of mezzanine loans and joint ventures to acquire indirect interests in real estate, as well as the use of mortgage loans as an investment in real estate or as a way to extract value from a real estate asset. I also work with companies looking to leverage their real estate assets to acquire more liquid capital and to grow their businesses.

In addition to my real estate practice, I am a member of Goodwin Procter’s Knowledge Management Department. In this role, I am responsible for developing and implementing tools and resources to identify, create, represent and distribute knowledge for reuse, awareness and learning across the firm. I coach other attorneys and staff on using knowledge resources to facilitate the efficient and effective practice of law.

I have represented a number of public REITs in mortgage financings, joint ventures and portfolio acquisitions, as well as real estate investment managers investing in real estate through joint ventures and mezzanine loans. I also have represented an investment fund in providing mortgage loans for affordable housing.

I am a member of the Boston, Massachusetts and American Bar Associations.
