Minta Kay is a partner and Chair of Goodwin’s Real Estate Industry Group. She leads an elite group of lawyers that focus on public companies, transactions and real estate fund formation across the globe. Her practice involves the representation of institutional investors, tax-exempts, real estate funds and owner/operators in connection with all aspects of their real estate investment transactions, and she has extensive experience in representing investors in complex joint venture and limited partnership transactions to acquire or develop properties. Ms. Kay has expertise in the areas of commercial real estate loan and equity investment restructuring, actively representing financial institutions, borrowers and partners in the modification of limited partnership and joint venture investments and loans. In her current role as Chair of the Real Estate Industry Group, Ms. Kay has identified teams of lawyers and professional staff at all levels to lead particular department strategic priorities for the group. Each of these teams seeks to implement its plans across the business unit and identify ways in which they can help clients to achieve their goals and promote Goodwin’s growth on a global basis. One strategic priority in particular that Ms. Kay has led, is the inception of Goodwin’s new PropTech practice, one of the first of its kind within the U.S. legal field. This practice is focused on supporting the intersection between Real Estate and Technology through thoughtful collaboration across the two sectors. As a leading member of the PropTech Steering Committee, she is responsible for driving strategy across the real estate and technology groups to effectively support clients involved in the emerging subsector. Her keen understanding in the importance of connecting real estate and technology, paired with her collaborative nature, has allowed her to coordinate fruitful introductions between investors, start-ups, companies and thought leaders within the space. While assisting her contacts in the growth of their own network, Ms. Kay has elevated the Goodwin platform by retaining a number of PropTech-related clients over the past year, further exemplifying her status as a true pioneer in the PropTech industry. As Goodwin and the Real Estate Industry group’s global footprint increases, Ms. Kay has also concentrated her efforts on cross-continent initiatives, supporting colleagues across Goodwin’s U.S., London, Frankfurt, Hong Kong and Paris offices to help expand current relationships and identify new ones. She continually works with each of the team leaders to help ensure that clients’ needs are met and that they don’t feel a shift in their intimate relationships as Goodwin continues to grow as a firm. Ms. Kay empowers members of the Real Estate Industry group to take its trajectory to new heights and continues to make an influential mark on the firm. In her role, she provides a new outlook and innovative ideas to unite the team on a higher level. While deeply committed to her clients, she remains committed to the firm and her colleagues, and has developed a purpose driven environment that has proven to be highly motivating to lawyers and team members at all levels.
