The firm, which is based in Westfield, said Bier’s experience includes all aspects of commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions, development and financing. He has represented sponsors and building owners in various aspects of converting residential and commercial properties to condominiums, including property acquisition, financing, regulatory compliance, tenant issues and representation in the sale of condo units.
Additionally, Bier is well versed in representing privately held and family-owned businesses, guiding clients through complex business and corporate matters, as well as mergers and acquisitions and working collaboratively with family business owners and Fortune 500 companies.
“With his notable experience in commercial real estate, M&A and working with privately held businesses, Rick is an ideal fit for our firm,” said Eric B. Levine, a partner with Lindabury who is also its president. “He has a demonstrated history of achieving the best possible business outcome for clients.”
Before joining Lindabury, Bier was a partner at several well-known law firms, according to a news release. Admitted to the New Jersey and New York bars, he holds a bachelor’s in international relations and affairs from Tufts University and a J.D. from St. John’s School University of Law.
“I look forward to working with my dedicated colleagues at Lindabury in upholding the firm’s well-established reputation for producing top-level results for clients,” Bier said.
