Before returning to private practice, Chelsea served as associate general counsel and chief compliance officer for a multifamily private-equity owner-operator. She led the legal department and was responsible for the company’s legal, transactional, compliance, and risk-management functions, including acquisitions, dispositions, financings, fund operations, preferred equity investments, and other day-to-day legal needs. She also oversaw REIT compliance and worked closely with outside counsel on matters affecting the company’s real estate investments, funds, and operations.

Chelsea also served as sole in-house counsel for a U.S.-headquartered real estate company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, supporting a health care real estate portfolio in the U.S. and Canada and coordinating with Canadian counsel on cross-border real estate matters. Drawing on her in-house background, Chelsea provides practical, business-focused counsel that accounts for legal risk, transaction execution, timing, operational realities, compliance considerations, and the investment objectives driving each matter.
