Kalish and Associates merges with Morris Hardwick SchneiderMortgagePress.comKalish and Associates, Morris Hardwick Schneider, commercial real estate
Kalish & Associates PC, a law firm based in Newnan, Ga. that
supports a wide variety of real estate and business transactions,
has merged with Atlanta-based Morris|Hardwick|Schneider, one of the
largest real estate closing law firms in the country.
"Morris|Hardwick|Schneider has enormous resources and an
outstanding reputation as the regions leading real estate law
firm," said Deborah Kalish, founder and managing partner of Kalish
& Associates. "We are excited about the opportunities that lie
ahead. An immediate benefit is an expansion of our geographic
reach, as our office will soon be Morris|Hardwick|Schneider's 38th
office in greater Atlanta. This means we will be able to close
transactions in any of these offices, which will be a tremendous
convenience for our clients."
In addition to extending the M|H|S service area into Coweta
County, M|H|S Managing Partner Nat Hardwick said the merger meets a
growing demand for the firm to expand its commercial real estate
services.
"M|H|S has grown by concentrating primarily on providing
residential real estate closing services. Thanks to our focus in
this area and our deep commitment to customer service, we are now
fortunate to have the largest share of the residential real estate
closings market in Atlanta," Hardwick said. "Now, we are seeing
demand grow for commercial real estate services, including handling
the closing of SBA loans. Our merger with Kalish & Associates
will increase our capacity to meet this burgeoning need--which is
particularly strong south of Atlanta, where Kalish & Associates
is based."

doctor degree from Emory University. She is a member of the State
Bar of Georgia and the American Bar Association. In addition,
