Stephanie Shack lives to negotiate a deal: a real estate attorney, Stephanie honed her real estate transactional skills as senior vice president and general counsel for a national nonprofit specializing in affordable housing and as senior vice president and associate general counsel at a publicly traded REIT. After moving to Baltimore to start her career as an attorney for a global law firm, she decided that working in-house provided her the most opportunity for growth, allowing her to develop her expertise in portfolio strategy and risk, investment and asset management as well as real estate and private equity funds. Currently she is General Counsel and SVP of Continental Realty Corporation, a privately-owned and operated real estate investor that acquires and manages multifamily communities and high-quality retail and office space in 12 states across the country.
