Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman, P.C., the largest health care-focused law firm in the country, continues to bolster its ability to support their clients with the addition of Danielle Bergner to its Milwaukee office.
With more than 15 years of dedicated commercial real estate experience, Danielle brings a unique perspective informed by her work in both the public and private sectors where she helps organizations navigate all aspects of structuring, negotiating and closing real estate transactions.
Danielle will reinforce Hall Render’s ability to manage transactions for their clients throughout the entire asset life cycle, including acquisition, construction, financing, leasing and disposition. In addition, her due diligence oversight will include issues regarding land use entitlements and permitting, environmental, engineering, utilities, planning and land division issues, title and survey review.
“Some of the largest development projects in the U.S. today have a major health care component as many health care providers are embarking on more complex, mixed use and housing projects,” explained Larry Coon, Hall Render Shareholder and Milwaukee Office Managing Partner. “Health care real estate is often complicated and involves unique financing and joint venture ownership structures, so Danielle’s experience and leadership in this space will bring significant value to our clients and our firm.”
Danielle will guide Hall Render’s clients through conventional and institutional financing, as well as unconventional financing from tax incremental financing to bond financing and tax credits. She has closed more than $1 billion in transactions, including affordable housing, senior housing and large-scale community impact development projects. This experience will further support Hall Render’s commitment to addressing social determinants of health, population health and community development issues, which will add value to health systems who seek to partner with other government agencies, universities and nonprofits to address social needs.
Before joining Hall Render, Danielle most recently served as General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer for a high-growth regional real estate development and investment firm.
“I am excited to be serving health care clients with a firm that devotes itself to improving all facets of health care in communities nationwide. I believe accessible and supportive housing is a necessary component of healthy communities, and I look forward to the opportunity to help advance that cause through my position with Hall Render. Community health is one of my great passions, and now, with Hall Render, I have the unique opportunity to combine that passion with my background in commercial real estate,” shared Bergner.
Danielle has been recognized in Best Lawyers in America and Chambers USA. She has also been selected to the Milwaukee Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 and Women of Influence lists and as a Business Journal National Influencer.
Danielle is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee and Marquette University Law School, and she is a member of the American Health Law Association, the State Bar of Wisconsin and the American Bar Association.
