What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2012? : Moving my law practice and my staff from the collapsing Dewey & LeBoeuf to Holland & Knight, which US New & World Report subsequently designated as having the best Real Estate Law Practice in the United States.

What was your most notable project, deal or transaction in 2012? : It is a tie between negotiating the contract, construction documents and condominium documents for the purchase of the top third of the iconic Woolworth Building and representing the developer of the Baccarat Hotel and Residences.

What are your predictions for commercial real estate in 2013? : A very strong year for commercial real estate sales and leasing. I just returned from meetings with investors outside the US and their entire focus was on buying properties in New York.

What are your resolutions for 2013? : To spend as much time as possible with Skylar Saft and Avery Saft, my granddaughters, to finish the two books on real estate that I have been writing, and to lose 25 pounds without being required to diet or exercise.
