Darryl Steinhause has more than 30 years of experience in highly

technical securities and tax transactions.

Darryl has structured securities offerings for a wide variety of

significant clients across the country, acting as lead counsel on

several billion dollars of fund, debt, tenant in common (TIC),

Delaware statutory trust (DST), real estate investment trust (REIT)

and other offerings. He has represented both sponsors and

institutional investors in a variety of deal structures, including

publicly registered transactions, private placements and institutional

funds. His experience also includes structuring lending transactions

and loan workouts for borrowers particularly involving TICs, REITs

and DSTs.

Darryl has also been at the forefront of the industry in creating REIT

roll-up structures for TIC transactions in both stand-alone transactions and in connection with REITs and

other investment vehicles.

Darryl conceived the legal structure for the modern TIC syndication transaction. In addition, he was

instrumental in obtaining a federal revenue ruling approving the DST structure for deferred exchanges. The

TIC model structured by Darryl expanded into a national multibillion-dollar industry. Recognized as one of

the foremost professionals in the industry, Darryl is a leader in developing new structures in the DST and

TIC industries.

Noted for his ability to create solutions and structure complex deals, Darryl has acted as tax and securities

counsel to over US$5 billion of TIC acquisitions.

EXPERIENCE

acted as tax and securities counsel in the acquisition of a US$148 million shopping mall, the largest single
