“I’m a problem solver. I find solutions to my clients’ problems because I’m close enough to understand the business or finance issue at hand, but removed enough to see other possible options or strategies.”
Chair, Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel LLP
David A. Nasatir is Chair of Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel LLP, where he also chairs the firm’s Business and Finance Department and its Workout and Lender Liability group. Based in the firm’s Philadelphia and West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania offices, Dave has built a practice around being a trusted business law advisor — one who negotiates legal agreements while also helping both private and public sector clients shape strategy and solve real-world business problems.
Practice Focus
Dave’s clients range from small, family-owned businesses to some of the largest financial institutions in the United States, as well as counties and municipal governments. His practice spans public finance for governmental and private-sector clients, the sale of municipal utilities to public and private utility companies, economic redevelopment projects, and general corporate, zoning, and real estate matters. He has extensive experience handling complex financing workouts and structuring multi-million-dollar real estate developments and redevelopments, and he co-chairs the firm’s Distressed Commercial Real Estate Group.
Dave is devoted to his family. As a father of four, he is often running to the tennis court, basketball game, a band concert, or another after-school activity. Dave is also active in his synagogue, in politics, and is an avid baseball and basketball fan.
