“Peter is a leader in his field, and his experience advising on all types of complex commercial, industrial, mining, retail, hospitality, data center/digital infrastructure, and multifamily and single-family real estate transactions across multiple jurisdictions will be a tremendous asset to our firm and to our clients,” said Raymond A. Sanseverino, chair of Loeb’s Real Estate department. “Peter’s arrival in our Chicago office also strengthens our national real estate platform and enables us to serve an even wider range of clients across the country.”

“Peter is known as a trusted advisor as he guides clients through some of the most complex real estate transactions,” said Douglas Masters, managing partner of the firm’s Chicago office. “His skillset further expands our capabilities in this important area and we are excited to have Peter join us.”

Bergan’s client roster also includes ConAgra Brands, Equity Office Properties, Invitation Homes, LivCor, MVP REIT, The NRP Group, Peabody Energy, ShopCore Properties, Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, and The Timken Company.
