For more than 20 years, Ms. Prouty has concentrated her practice in real estate law. Ms. Prouty specializes in cooperative and condominium development, and represents clients from the initial stages of a project, through site acquisition, construction, all aspects of securities law compliance for New York real estate offerings, to final sales and leases of units. Projects have included office condominiums, residential cooperative and condominium conversions, and mixed use “condops,” and have often involved development rights transfers, foreign investor issues, historic properties, reuse of manufacturing buildings, or special use tax incentive situations. In addition, Ms. Prouty has represented individuals, owners, developers, major corporate tenants and not-for-profit organizations on a wide range of transactions, with an emphasis on office, retail and industrial building leasing.

Ms. Prouty has been of counsel to our firm since November 2001. She was formerly a member of the New York City firm of Balber Pickard Battistoni Maldonado & Vandertuin, P.C., and is serving as a member of the Board of the New York Landmarks Conservancy.

Ms. Prouty received her J.D. from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in 1980, and her B.A. from Bennington College in 1968.
