McManimon, Scotland & Baumann LLC has made an addition to its commercial real estate team, one of five new hires for the Roseland-based law firm.
Jennifer Harrison joins the redevelopment practice as an associate with nearly a decade of experience, according to her bio. Prior to McManimon Scotland, she worked as an attorney for a New York law firm, where she represented institutional lenders in commercial real estate financing.
Harrison is versed in real estate matters such as reviewing leases, organizational documents of borrowers and drafting and negotiating owner and tenant estoppel letters. Her expertise also includes other commercial real estate documents for the financing of multifamily, retail and mixed-use properties.
McManimon Scotland added that, prior to Harrison’s last firm, she worked as an attorney for a title insurance company. That position included reviewing title records, entity organizational and estate documents for commercial and residential properties.
She also served as lead on the purchase and refinance of multimillion-dollar commercial and residential properties with lender market leaders in New York and New Jersey.
Harrison, who is licensed to practice in New Jersey and New York, serves on the Minorities in the Profession Committee of the New York City Bar Association.
McManimon Scotland announced her hiring alongside four other new additions, including:
- Joseph R. Zapata Jr. as a partner in the bankruptcy law practice
- Alexa S. Iannelli as an associate in the public finance practice
- Parampreet Singh as an associate in the corporate law practice
