Brett Wiltsey, Partner
Obermayer
Brett concentrates his practice in general corporate, business transactions, real estate, and financing matters. He represents clients in the following three areas:
- General Counsel to growing and emerging companies. In this role, Brett advises clients on all issues they face. For example, issues that arise concerning confidential and internal HR, prosecuting or defending litigation, and developing growth strategies that include a combination of M&A transactions, employee retention programs, and obtaining capital/equity to accelerate the growth strategy.
- Financial institutions. Brett has extensive experience in representing financial institutions in loan documentation, defending litigation under the UCC, and troubled loan workouts. His multi-faceted practice allows him to resolve these issues creatively and efficiently.
- Real estate, land use, and governmental representations. Brett represents private clients seeking to develop sites throughout southern New Jersey. In this capacity, he assists in the selection of development sites, negotiates the acquisition documents, obtains financing (equity, traditional lending, and through government grant and support programs), and finally shepherding the client through the land use approval process. Municipalities have recognized Brett’s talent and have retained him to represent them as special development counsel to assist in the negotiating and drafting of PILOT agreements as well as conducting due diligence on the developers and their proposed projects.
Brett enjoys solving problems, which is what motivated him to become a lawyer. As a former collegiate athlete (he played both basketball and baseball), Brett likes to stay active and plays golf with friends and clients, which also satisfies his competitive side. In addition, Brett coaches his children’s youth sports teams.
When not focusing on work or sports, Brett enjoys spending time with his family and reading (re-reading) non-fiction analysis of World War II from as many perspectives as he can. He finds it a fascinating time in our history that provides opportunities to better understand how human tendencies/failures can educate us to make better decisions.
