A large portion of Abby’s practice is assisting clients with mergers and acquisitions, including both stock and asset transactions, as well as reorganizations.  Abby’s work in the mergers & acquisitions arena touches on many different industry sectors, including in particular, companies in the technology, health care, manufacturing and professional service sectors.

Abby has actively worked on a wide variety of deals and structures, including complex earn-outs and management buy-outs. 

In her real estate practice, Abby focuses on the areas of planning and executing real estate transactions. She advises clients on the acquisition, financing, and disposition of commercial and residential properties. Abby has extensive experience negotiating commercial lease agreements. Abby has also counseled clients on various property tax assessment and exemption issues.

In her transportation and trade practice, Abby delivers sophisticated and practical advice to clients in a broad range of industries on both domestic and international regulatory and commercial matters, with the aim of minimizing supply chain disruptions and avoiding costly penalties, sanctions and shipping delays.

Before joining the firm, Abby clerked for Chief Judge Leonard P. Stark of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
