Zachary J Levy, Partner
Zach began his legal career as a real estate finance attorney focused on lender representation for large-scale real estate development projects, both locally (New York Metropolitan area) and nationally. As an attorney for King & Spalding, Zach represented a wide spectrum of clientele from large, nationally-based institutional banking lenders to mid-sized, regional debt funds on a variety of matters surrounding real estate development financing. Driven by the fast-paced and cutthroat nature of the industry, Zach thrived for many years in this capacity representing some of the largest and most aggressive real estate lenders in the country, however, like many of those in similar sectors he gradually grew disheartened by the corporate system focused on his sole value of delivering billable hours. Empowered by an insatiable desire to better not only his own life but the lives of those around him, Zach joined the Anderson Firm, P.C. out of a true belief in its mission to change the traditional law firm relationship. Motivated by genuine human connections, Zach is passionate about understanding not only the business-side of his professional relationships but the sometimes-subconscious needs of his clients in order to construct creative and value-driven solutions to complicated issues. Inspired by the growing trends of entrepreneurs sprouting up across all major business sectors and the empowerment of the individual that this signifies, Zach thrives off of helping his clients obtain true professional independence.
