About

‘Attorneys at Tishman Speyer are fully integrated members of the team – it’s a great place to be a lawyer,’ Daniel Sinrod says on his role. As the sole private equity funds lawyer at Tishman Speyer, Daniel Sinrod guides the firm’s global efforts and works closely with the portfolio managers of Tishman Speyer’s 14 existing open- and closed-end funds. ‘Daniel is a smart, dynamic and business savvy lawyer with in-depth knowledge of fund formation and a notable ability to bring out the best in those who work with and for him,’ says former colleague Michael Harrell of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP. Like most private equity firms, Tishman Speyer registered as an investment adviser with the US SEC in 2012. Sinrod arrived in 2011, just in time to spearhead this process. His work included implementing a series of new legal and compliance policies, and training the firm’s 1400+ real estate professionals spread across four continents. When selecting outside counsel, Sinrod looks for advisors who take a proactive approach: ‘All of our outside counsel can competently answer the questions posed to them; the best of our outside counsel know how our platform operates and they spot issues for us before we ask’.
