May 10, 2017

Reston, VA – May 10, 2017 – The Loudoun Business Journal has named real estate partner Colleen Gillis a Woman to Watch as part of its annual Women 100 list, which highlights women who are “changing the face of business” in Loudoun County.

Gillis's practice includes representing major developers and national, regional and local companies in all areas of land use entitlement, including office, retail, industrial, mixed-use, residential, hotel and large planned community projects. She previously worked as a transactional real estate lawyer, which enables her to effectively and efficiently advise on the nuanced interrelationship of entitlement, acquisition, financing and divestment during the life cycle of any given project.

In 2016, the Washington Business Journal named Gillis to its Power 100 Playmakers list and she was recognized in The Best Lawyers in America, a leading peer-review survey of the legal profession.
