Sofia B.T. Skok

Sofia Skok works with the Tucker Ellis Real Estate and Corporate groups on a variety of complex transactional matters, including the acquisition and disposition of real property assets and debt and equity financing.

Sofia’s practice concentrates on all aspects of commercial real estate transactions and general corporate matters. She assists with real estate purchase and sale agreements, title and survey matters, leasing, and general real estate matters. She also works with banks and borrowers to facilitate financing deals, including assisting with credit agreements and construction loan agreements. Additionally, she has experience assisting issuers and placement agents in selling securities of banks and bank holding companies, including de novo stock and subordinated debt.

Sofia’s research and internship experiences have helped her understand and address clients’ needs. As a legal intern with the Archdiocese of Chicago, she reviewed and assisted in drafting lease agreements and memoranda on real estate issues specific to nonprofits. As a research assistant at Notre Dame Law School, Sofia studied, translated, and edited legal documents and articles related to education and corporate law.
