Partner
Sholom Yaffa’s goal is to help real estate clients solve problems, structure and close complex real estate transactions, and manage risk. He has extensive experience representing a diverse client base, including local and national private equity sponsors, family offices, investors, as well as operators and developers.
Sholom’s journey into real estate law began as an analyst at a real estate private equity firm. By day, he underwrote and closed real estate transactions; by night, he pursued his law degree. Upon graduation, he transitioned to an in-house counsel position at the same firm before joining GYFB. Sholom’s background equips him with a pragmatic, business-centric approach to his role as a transactional attorney. He emphasizes efficient and effective negotiations while keeping risk in check.
