Lee Darling is a premier real estate and business transactional attorney with more than twenty-five years of experience guiding her clients through the obstacles present in a complex business or real estate transaction, including crafting the proper documentation for the deal. Ms. Darling has worked on many diverse and exciting projects, from the acquisition of a ski area to the overseas manufacture of a specialized sports racing car. She has aided clients in the acquisition of development property, the construction of up-scale condominium units and commercial buildings, the “condominiumization” process and the establishment of appropriate owners’ associations. She acts as general counsel to a number of companies, both profit and non-profit, in areas ranging from real estate investment, development and brokerage to cancer prevention, awareness and research.

Ms. Darling calls her law practice a “relationship practice” and considers herself just one participant in the team that drives the client’s business. She understands that the role of the attorney is to enable the client to make sound, well-informed decisions. Her challenge is to anticipate the client’s needs as she guides them through both good corporate times and bad.

A cum laude graduate of the University of Florida College of Law, Ms. Darling has spent her legal career in private practice in south Florida and in Denver, Colorado. She enjoys her chosen career and the people she encounters in it. Married to an attorney and the mother of two school-aged children, she spends her leisure moments reading, skiing and traveling.
