Allison Leopold Tilley, a partner in Pillsbury’s corporate and securities technology practice in Silicon Valley, discussed her representation of Mission West Properties Inc. in the $1.3 billion disposition of its assets late last year.

“There were a large number of properties involved (more than 70), so that added complexity. And the fact that there were two buyers (Divco West and TPG Real Estate). So you have to get input from multiple sides and multiple lawyers,” said Leopold Tilly.

When asked what made this deal unique, she replied, “It's interesting to hear the different companies that have passed through the doors of the real estate involved. It's kind of a little replica of Silicon Valley itself.”
