Marc Wertheimer

Marc Wertheimer’s interest in real estate began early, shaped by a keen observation of New York City’s built environment and an appreciation for how thoughtful planning and execution bring complex projects to life. That early curiosity evolved into a sophisticated legal practice grounded in practical judgment, strategic insight and a deep understanding of real estate and business transactions. Marc’s ability to conceptualize, negotiate and successfully execute complex deals – combined with his instinct for understanding the motivations of all parties involved – has been central to the development of his highly regarded practice.

Marc focuses on complex real estate and business transactions, frequently integrating income and estate tax planning considerations to deliver tax-efficient and strategically sound solutions. He represents a broad range of clients, including businesses, homebuilders, institutional and non-institutional lenders, as well as individual and group investors. Clients value his meticulous attention to detail as well as his ability to maintain a “big picture” perspective, enabling him to structure customized risk-reward analyses that balance financing and equity considerations in support of both immediate and long-term objectives.

In addition to serving clients, Marc has played an integral role in the leadership and growth of the firm. His strategic guidance, collaborative approach and commitment to excellence have helped shape the firm’s direction and strengthen its reputation in the marketplace.

Marc earned his B.S. cum laude in Accounting and Management from New York University, his J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School and his LL.M. in Taxation from the Georgetown University Law Center. He has long been active in supporting the real estate and building industries, including serving for five years as Chair of the Maryland National Capital Building Industry Association’s Real Estate Finance Committee. During his tenure, he founded the Builder-Banker Roundtable Breakfast program, which continues to thrive more than 28 years later.

Marc’s professional achievements have been recognized through an AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell and his selection as a Washington, D.C. area Real Estate Super Lawyer. Now celebrating more than 40 years in practice, Marc remains deeply engaged in his work and is widely regarded as a trusted, long-term advisor to many of his clients – relationships built on experience, insight and enduring professional commitment.
