Terri Adler, Managing Partner of Adler & Stachenfeld LLP, leads a premier "Pure Play" real estate firm of 50-plus attorneys dedicated exclusively to the sector. Known as "The Fixer," Adler excels at simplifying hyper-complicated transactions and navigating deal-breaking roadblocks.

In 2025, she facilitated a development transaction exceeding $1 billion for a major institution involving a complex capital stack of mezzanine debt and preferred equity. Beyond her transactional prowess, Adler's leadership is reflected in her firm's merit-driven management team, which uniquely features women as the COO, CFO, Chief Technology Officer, and CMO.

This intentional approach to talent development has seen her mentor and promote numerous colleagues into leadership roles, challenging traditional industry norms. Her 2025 successes also include representing Sculptor Capital Management in the development of the Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas and guiding RXR through a $500 million restructuring of its luxury portfolio.

A recognized industry voice, she frequently shares her insights on deal structuring and leadership at high-profile events, including the 2025 Diversity in Commercial Real Estate Conference. Throughout her nearly three-decade career, Adler has been involved in deals that transformed neighborhoods, such as the acquisition and redevelopment of The Chelsea Market in Manhattan.
