Mr. Guggenheim represents private equity fund managers, real estate companies, family offices, and institutional investors in connection with commercial real estate joint ventures and other partnerships, financings, acquisitions, and dispositions. He is also a lecturer in law at USC’s Gould School of Law, where he teaches the course on real estate joint ventures between capital partners and sponsors.

Mr. Soejoto’s practice focuses on commercial real estate joint ventures and other partnerships and strategic relationships, as well as the federal income tax and California property tax and transfer tax aspects of real estate transactions and real estate-related investments, with significant experience structuring transactions for private real estate investment trusts (REITs) and tax-exempt investors.
