Freeborn Partner Named Chicago Real Estate “Lawyer of the Year”

Freeborn & Peters LLP attorney Dov J. Pinchot, a Partner and Co-Leader of the Firm’s Real Estate Practice Group, has been selected by The Best Lawyers in America® as the 2014 "Lawyer of the Year" for Real Estate Law in the Chicago area. Only a single attorney from any legal practice area is recognized as the “Lawyer of the Year” in a designated metropolitan area.

Attorneys selected as “Lawyers of the Year” received particularly impressive voting averages compiled during the peer-review assessments that determined the 2014 “Best Lawyers.” The oldest and one of the most respected peer-review publications in the legal profession, Best Lawyers began designating “Lawyers of the Year” in the United States in select legal practice areas in 2009. 

“We congratulate Dov on this singular Best Lawyers recognition that reflects the high level of respect that he has earned among other leading lawyers, including clients, throughout the real estate industry in Chicago and nationwide,” said Michael A. Moynihan, Co-Managing Partner of Freeborn & Peters, and a member of the firm’s Real Estate Practice Group. 

Pinchot has represented many of the country’s leading businesses in connection with major leasing, acquisition and development transactions throughout the United States and around the globe. He has been a trusted adviser to clients in negotiating a variety of commercial leases, including office, retail, headquarters relocation, restaurant, sale-leaseback, culinary services and industrial leases, as well as a broad array of subleases. Pinchot has successfully “leased-up” prominent Class-A office buildings, completed a number of major headquarters relocations and closed complex portfolio and property acquisitions and sales around the country.

Also a frequent lecturer and a published author on leasing subjects, Pinchot holds a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School and a B.A., cum laude, from Yeshiva University.
