Seyfarth Shaw

National chair of the real estate department at Seyfarth Shaw

Leads teams that serve institutional real estate clients across the U.S.

Has led deployment of technology, process management, and innovative staffing models

Paul Mattingly is the national chair of the real estate department at Seyfarth Shaw. During his 21-year tenure as chair, the real estate department has grown to be one of the five largest commercial real estate practices in the United States. The department regularly handles the largest and most complex real estate and real estate finance transactions. 

As a practitioner, Atlanta-based Mattingly leads teams that serve institutional real estate clients in transactions across the United States, including a real estate finance team that has closed loans having a value in excess of $6 billion in each of the past three years, and a leasing and development team that represents one of the world’s largest retailers on a national basis. 

Mattingly has led the real estate department’s deployment of technology, process management, and innovative staffing models to provide exceptionally responsive service and value to the firm’s sophisticated clients.  He was a longtime member of Seyfarth Shaw’s executive and compensation committees. 

Colleagues describe Mattingly as “incredibly responsive and transactionally savvy.  He is excellent at using the firm’s resources to pair the right attorney to the relevant client need.” 

These are some of the reasons that we named Mattingly to our Atlanta & Southeast grouping of Lawyers in Real Estate. These are real estate attorneys who have distinguished themselves in both their practice and the larger community.
