"Striving to understand a client's needs and expectations is a central part of my representing them. Clients get their best value from me when we both understand their goals. We can then work as a team to achieve them."
As Co-Chair of the Firm’s Real Estate Group, Donald Vaughan focuses his practice on the representation of parties, including non-profits, in commercial office and retail leases and subleases.
