Law360 has named real estate partner Anthony Mongone and asset management partner Rachel O’Brien as “Rising Stars” in the Real Estate and Fund Formation categories, respectively. The annual list recognizes attorneys under 40 whose legal accomplishments distinguish them among their peers.
Anthony played a pivotal role in the last several years’ most significant real estate finance transactions, such as Blackstone’s investment in the $16.8 billion Signature Bank commercial mortgage portfolio with the FDIC, $2 billion acquisition of a 220+ mortgage loan portfolio from Atlantic Union Bank, and $1 billion commercial mortgage securitization issuance. Anthony’s reputation for delivering practical solutions and expertly steering clients through complex, high-stakes matters has set him apart in the commercial real estate finance industry.
Rachel spearheaded several high-profile private fund launches, including Hamilton Lane’s $5.6 billion Secondary Fund VI, Vistria Fund V’s $3 billion close, and the oversubscribed $1.75 billion Pamlico Capital VI, all of which demanded innovative structuring and seamless coordination across jurisdictions. Her exceptional leadership and ability to orchestrate intricate, fast-paced fundraises have established her as a standout advisor in the fund formation arena.
The honorees were selected by Law360 from a highly competitive pool of more than 1,100 submissions.
