John R. Conlin
John’s practice focuses on business transactions, real estate, and investment matters. He brings a combination of large-firm legal training and hands-on business experience to his work for clients.
John began his career in New York at Schulte Roth & Zabel, a nationally recognized firm, where he represented investment management companies and investors in fund formation, structuring, and related transactional matters.
Since leaving Schulte Roth & Zabel, John has built and operated real estate and digital asset investment businesses in the Great Lakes region, managing relationships with partners, investors, and contractors across acquisitions, financing, and day-to-day operations. That experience gives him a practical perspective on the business and legal issues his clients face.
