ON THE HORIZON
Thomas S. Dolan – Chair of Property Tax and Litigation practice groups
2021 was a banner year for MSW. The firm’s transactional practice groups helped clients close over $1,000,000,000 in commercial real estate transactions. The firm, based in Newark, New Jersey, regularly represents clients throughout New Jersey and New York and throughout the United States. While we will continue to deepen our presence in the New Jersey and New York markets, we anticipate that our national transactional practice will continue to expand as more of our clients explore markets outside of the New York metropolitan area.
