Kerry was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business and Temple University School of Law.
As Chairman of the firm’s Financial Services department, Kerry represented both institutional and private lenders in a wide range of lending matters, including the structuring and documentation of commercial loans, loan workouts, foreclosure proceedings, REOs, possessory actions and bankruptcy matters. Known for his strategic insight and practical guidance, Kerry was frequently sought out by lenders for advice on both loan structuring and collection strategies.
In addition to his financial services practice, Kerry maintained a broad corporate, business, and real estate practice. He advised clients on start-ups, entity formation, contracts, employment agreements, partnership and shareholder agreements and business acquisitions and sales. He also assisted clients with commercial and residential real estate transactions, title insurance matters, financing, and entity selection.
Kerry’s leadership and steadfast integrity shaped the foundation of our firm and touched the lives of so many. He held a deep respect for the practice of law and was committed to serving his clients with excellence and dedication. Although his presence will be greatly missed, his legacy will live on through the attorneys and clients he impacted at Friedman Schuman Layser.
