With over 20 years of real estate finance experience, Kim focuses her practice on borrower-side financing matters.

Her experience includes structuring and strategizing transactions across various property types, including office, medical office, senior and assisted living, retail, restaurants, affordable and market-rate multifamily housing, hotels, industrial facilities, manufacturing and distribution sites, storage, data centers, and vacant land.
"We are pleased to welcome Kimberlie as our newest partner in the Real Estate Group. Kimberlie brings deep experience in real estate finance and other transactional matters, having previously been a partner at an AmLaw 100 firm and having served as general counsel to a prominent Chicago-based development company. She’s a “lawyer’s lawyer” who gets deals done while also employing a keen business understanding honed during her time in-house. BFKN clients will enjoy the benefits of this insider’s perspective, as well as Kimberlie’s ability to guide a matter from beginning to successful conclusion." — Richard S.
