Representing all parties and aspects of real estate matters, Justin Newman pursues his clients’ objectives with dedication, creativity, and a broad perspective on what will help them succeed.
Justin represents purchasers, sellers, landlords, tenants, owners, operators, lenders and borrowers in real estate matters from transactions to litigation.

Because Justin has extensive litigation experience, he is able to help structure transactions with a keen eye towards future litigation and is able to guide clients through litigation seamlessly.
The core of Justin’s national practice is real estate financing, but he is also experienced with family office representation and advocacy, multifamily housing, distressed real estate, loan purchases and sales and healthcare finance. The breadth of his experience and the extensive network he has developed allow him to be the advisor, connector and referral source clients count on, often working with clients for decades.
Justin is inspired by the innovative and collaborative spirit of his clients and loves being a connector and helping his contacts find the right resources to accomplish their goals. Justin relishes and focuses on being a referral source for clients and contacts throughout his network.
Responsive and practical, Justin understands the crucial importance of getting to the root of clients’ business issues and advancing their interests as quickly and zealously as possible. By listening carefully and understanding their business, he can help move clients from an idea or opportunity to celebrating a successful outcome.

When the client work is done for the day, I’m out hunting for the perfect taco or extolling the virtues of Chicago deep-dish pizza. My family and I love traveling to where the weather is warm, and water, a golf course or mountains are nearby – anything outdoors.
