Clients come to me with a problem to solve or a deal to get done. I ask a lot of direct questions up front, then craft practical — and often creative — strategies to get the deal closed. I like finding a solution to whatever issue a client is facing or building an approach that lets them move quickly to seize an opportunity.

Kelly Clum-Matthysse is a Warner partner and commercial real estate attorney who handles commercial lease negotiations, real estate sales and acquisitions, real estate development and construction projects. Kelly represents clients on real estate matters throughout Michigan and across the country. She understands that buying, selling, leasing and developing real estate is a significant investment, and she works to keep these transactions moving as efficiently as possible.

Real estate deals move fast, and urgent issues come up often. Clients and colleagues turn to Kelly when a lease, easement or zoning issue presents an unusual or particularly difficult challenge, relying on her to untangle it and find a practical path forward. She brings deep knowledge and sharp strategic thinking to every situation and finds it gratifying to put all the pieces together and get clients the answers they need to make informed decisions.

Clients appreciate Kelly's ability to build relationships and keep transactions on track. She's direct, responsive and easy to work with.
