Bio

Evan Hudson is an acknowledged leader among a new generation of real estate capital markets lawyers. He draws on skills honed over more than a decade of concentration in the structuring of real estate investment vehicles, including private funds and REITs (publicly traded, non-traded and private). Evan has made a conscious decision not to spread himself too thin with a broad corporate practice, and the resulting depth of knowledge is what sets him apart. His technical writings are widely read, and Evan’s clients rave about his ability to provide business guidance that goes far beyond the value of the legal services provided. In fact, since 2008, Evan has advised clients in raising billions of dollars of equity capital. These funds have flowed to sponsors through IPOs, follow-on public offerings and private placements, creating a voluminous track record of helping clients to grow our nation’s cities and infrastructure. With respect to asset management, on the institutional side, Evan represents some of the largest private REITs in the world. On the retail side, Evan helps sponsors tap the large and growing pool of capital controlled by “mass affluent” and high-net-worth private clients. Whether representing successful real estate entrepreneurs or the most sophisticated institutional asset managers, Evan helps them to build durable and lucrative retail-facing businesses while abiding by all relevant securities laws. Regarding publicly traded REITs, Evan advises on disclosure issues and corporate matters. He understands the criticality of raising funds to execute business plans, and he knows the market and enjoys helping managers to achieve their most ambitious goals.
