Michael Goodwin's practice encompasses all facets of commercial real estate, with particular emphasis on development, public/private partnerships, debt and equity financing, ground leases, and hospitality.

Michael represents developers in the Washington region on all aspects of complex development projects. He has handled many of the catalyst projects spearheading the region's extraordinary growth over the past 30 years.
