After nearly a decade in private practice as a business lawyer, South Florida attorney Isaac Marcushamer has gone in-house.
Real estate development company Kaplan Residential announced on Monday that Marcushamer has joined as its first-ever general counsel. He also was named managing director.
In the new role, Marcushamer will analyze acquisitions and transactions for Kaplan Residential, identify equity and capital partners and oversee all of the company's litigation, as well as its corporate and real estate work.
Marcushamer was a partner with Berger Singerman's Business Reorganization team, according to his online bio. During the last year or so of his nearly decadelong tenure with the business law firm, he also served as the firm's chief innovation partner, identifying and implementing new technologies and other resources for clients.
“I am thrilled to join Kaplan Residential and harness my desire to pursue an entrepreneurial path in the thriving real estate sector,” Marcushamer said in a statement. “Collaborating with one of the nation's most intuitive and innovative development teams will allow me to play a key role in creating memorable communities throughout the country.”
Originally a family-owned and operated business, Kaplan Residential develops, builds and manages residential real estate projects in the Southeast. In addition to Miami, the company is also based in Atlanta, where in May it settled a lawsuit with the Atlanta Housing Authority and another developer over a complex, site ownership restriction related to a downtown Atlanta apartment project, according to news reports.
Marcushamer earned his degree from the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, according to his LinkedIn profile. He began his legal career as a clerk to Judge Raymond Ray of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.
