Lindsay Mesh Lotito
Partner 
Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP

What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? 

The accomplishment that I am most proud of was being promoted to partner in January 2023. A goal of most lawyers, I was ecstatic to achieve this title early on in my career. The title itself is great, but the support and confidence in my abilities by my firm is what really made me feel the most honored and appreciated.

What are the most important factors women in your industry should consider when choosing a firm to build their career with? 

Are there other successful women there? Who you surround yourself with is a direct reflection of you and the culture of the firm you are choosing. 

Who inspires you most? What qualities do they possess that inspire you? 

The female instructors of Peloton – they are strong, confident women who share their personal stories with the world as they lead fitness classes and encourage others to be the best versions of themselves physically, emotionally and mentally. 

Why should this nominee be recognized in our Women in Commercial Real Estate Spotlight? 

“Lindsay Mesh Lotito should be spotlighted as a ‘Woman in Commercial Real Estate’ due to her dedication, work ethic, and legal knowledge. I have known Ms. Lotito for over a decade and have consistently been impressed by her ability to ‘get the job done’ in both an efficient and precise manner.” - Cheryl Katz-Erato, Partner at Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP.
