Thompson & Knight recently added depth to its real estate and banking practice by recruiting Houston real estate partner Doug Stewart and New York partner Michael H. Jo.
Stewart was previously at Winstead, where he practiced for a decade. For more than 40 years, he has assisted clients with achieving lines of credit, hotel financing, and syndicated credits. The University of Texas School of Law alumnus also negotiated land acquisition and development contracts, improved property sales and financing and advised on lender liability issues.
Leaders at T&K pointed to the active and growing real estate markets in New York and Houston.
“Expanding Thompson & Knight’s real estate and banking practice in both New York and Houston is an important part of our overall growth plan,” Mark Sloan, T&K’s managing partner, said in a statement. “Michael and Doug are welcomed additions to the practice, as we continue to expand and meet our client’s growing needs.”
