Ward and Smith is pleased to announce the addition of Stefan Maletic as an attorney in its Asheville office.
He focuses his practice on commercial real estate transactions, representing purchasers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and developers in a range of matters, including purchase agreements, commercial leases, easements, restrictive covenants, and title work.
Stefan brings experience representing municipalities, developers, and institutional lenders in affordable housing development and commercial real estate transactions. His background includes drafting and negotiating ground leases, loan documents, and purchase agreements.
"Stefan has handled complex commercial real estate transactions from multiple sides of the table, for buyers, sellers, lenders, and developers," said Brad Evans, Co-Managing Director of Ward and Smith. "That breadth of perspective is exactly what our Western North Carolina clients need."
Stefan earned his J.D. from the University of North Carolina School of Law, where he completed a judicial internship with the Honorable Chris Dillon of the North Carolina Court of Appeals. He received his B.A. in Political Science and Sociology from Furman University, graduating cum laude.
