Philadelphia commercial real estate lawyer Robert D. Lane Jr. has joined fast-growing Stevens & Lee P.C. to "help build the firm's real estate and project finance practice" around Philadelphia. Lane will reprise his earlier role building similar practices at Morgan Lewis (1998-2005) and Pepper Hamilton (1989-97) before detouring to join onetime Philadelphia GOP mayoral candidate Sam Katz in an attempt to build a Chinese infrastructure development company. The partners had set up deals in Fuzhou and Tianjin, but were unable to convert them into paying propositions, especially after a 2006 Chinese law restricted international joint ventures. Lane said the partners did develop "relationships with major global real estate companies and equity funds," which Lane expects will prove useful in representing corporate tenants in "diverse transactions." Lane's past clients include Albert Einstein Healthcare, Amoco, Forest City, IBM, McDonald's, and Towers Perrin, among others.
