He joins the firm as a partner in the Real Estate Practice.
Mr. Walsh represents commercial developers and companies with commercial real estate needs in their purchases, sales, closings and financing of real estate.

On the buyer and owner side, he structures and closes loan transactions and lines of credits to support the purchase, sale and development of commercial real estate.
“We are thrilled to welcome Tim to Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr,” said Al Coleman, office managing partner for the firm’s Minneapolis office and a member of the firm’s Executive Committee. “Tim is not only a seasoned transactional lawyer, but his more than 15 years of experience working in-house means he approaches real estate deals with the sensibility of a business executive. That is a trait that will serve our corporate client base especially well.”
Beyond his commercial real estate practice, Mr. Walsh helps businesses navigate mergers, acquisitions and other complex transactions, including contracting matters. He also advises them on governance and structure and guides them through formation and expansion.
In providing outside counsel for companies, Mr. Walsh draws on his experience serving as general counsel and executive vice president and a member of the founding team that transformed Silestone© countertop maker Cosentino North America from a start-up to a national $300 million-plus business with operations in more than 25 states in six years.
