Friedman advises commercial developers, property owners, and businesses, guiding them through complex real estate transactions. His work has included structuring high-value deals for some of Southern California’s largest developers and investors, such as representing a promote partner in the nearly $500 million sale of partnership interests across nine shopping centers and leading a $46 million, 75-year ground lease for a shopping center tied to a major Los Angeles housing project. In 2024 alone, Friedman oversaw the legal side of three significant acquisitions in California for one of the most active developers in Los Angeles County.
