Overview

Navita’s practice focuses on understanding each of her client’s real estate, mergers, acquisitions, and general corporate strategies by leveraging her previous experiences of working in-house at a nationwide franchisor and a national middle market private equity fund.

She represents business owners, developers, private equity groups and investors on all facets of commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions, sales, financing, leases and development. She also assists clients with a wide array of real estate matters including purchasing and selling land, leasing commercial properties, platting and subdividing property, or seeking other land use approvals.

She facilitates multiple details for buyers and sellers of commercial real estate, such as due diligence, title and survey review, financing and refinancing, contract review, drafting and negotiating purchase agreements, leases and ancillary contracts, preparation of easements and handling all facets of closing proceedings and post-closing obligations.

Navita is a motivated self-starter who approaches every challenge with resilience and attention to detail. Most recently, she represented Fredrikson as a Seconded Attorney to a leading national middle market private equity fund, where Navita supported the firm’s in-house legal and deal teams.

Prior to joining Fredrikson, Navita was an associate at another Twin Cities law firm, practicing in the areas of Employment Law, Wills, Trusts & Estates, Corporate Governance, and Business Transactions. Before that, she had been the Franchise Relations, Compliance and Walmart Relations Manager at a nationwide franchisor of hair salons, where she successfully negotiated key lease agreements between the franchisor and its largest commercial landlord, securing favorable terms for the franchisor and its franchisees.
