Wendy leads Carlson Dash’s Commercial Real Estate department, focusing on commercial real estate finance, purchase and sale transactions, and commercial leases.
In the Profession
In her finance practice, Wendy represents financial institutions and private lenders in complex transactions, including participations, syndications, commercial real estate loans, construction financing, and asset-based loans. She also works on restructurings and workouts, forbearance agreements, and deed-in-lieu transactions.
Wendy handles acquisitions and dispositions across all asset classes of commercial real estate, representing both purchasers and sellers. Additionally, she works with landlords and tenants to negotiate commercial leases for multi-use buildings, retail, office, and industrial space.
Beyond real estate transactions, Wendy provides general outside counsel advice to lenders, for-profit corporations, not-for-profit entities, partnerships, and limited liability companies.
In the Community
Outside of the office, Wendy loves being outdoors – preferably near water. She supports local school and community organizations by volunteering and helping with fundraising. She enjoys traveling and exploring new places with family and friends, reads fiction whenever she gets the chance, and keeps her Duolingo streak going as long as possible.
