Kathryn Kovitz Arnold Named Chair of Shefsky & Froelich Real Estate Practice

April 29, 2013

Shefsky & Froelich is pleased to announce Kathryn Kovitz Arnold has been selected as the Chair of the Real Estate practice. Arnold succeeds Anthony Licata who has held the position since joining the firm in 1995 and is taking on the role of Chair for the firm’s Private Client practice.

Arnold has been with the firm for 24 years and also serves as the Chair of the Condominium practice. She focuses her practice on real estate development, condominium development and conversion, mixed-use high-rise development and commercial financing (owner and buyer representation). She has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America for Real Estate Law and the Leading Lawyers Network. She has also been elected to Illinois Super Lawyers.

"Kathy is a natural leader and perfect for this position," said Licata. "I know that with her stellar client service and keen understanding of the real estate market, she will keep the practice going in the positive direction it has been going in for the past several years."

"I am honored to lead the real estate practice and continue its long tradition of superior legal work and service to our clients. It is a privilege to lead such a talented group of practitioners,” said Arnold.

The Real Estate practice at Shefsky & Froelich handles a diverse range of major transactions, both within the Chicago metropolitan area and nationally. The practice annually handles transactions with an aggregate dollar value well in excess of $1 billion. These transactions span the full spectrum of commercial real estate activity, from development to financing to investment transactions.

Licata, who also remains Managing Partner for the firm, will now serve as Chair for the Private Client practice. Composed of more than 20 attorneys concentrating in corporate law, real estate law, estate planning and litigation, the Private Client practice provides the resources and experience to meet individual’s complex financial or personal legal needs.

About Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. Founded in 1970 by a small group of highly motivated attorneys with extensive experience in complex commercial transactions, Shefsky & Froelich has grown to over 70 lawyers serving clients from highly specialized entrepreneurial firms to Fortune 500 companies in a broad range of service areas.
