DLA Piper has announced that Barbara Trachtenberg has received the Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Network's "Top 20 Women Under 40" award, honoring the top women in commercial real estate. Trachtenberg is a partner in DLA Piper’s Real Estate practice in the Boston office and is a former president of New England Women in Real Estate (NEWiRE), the local chapter of CREW Network.

Launched in association with the 20th anniversary of CREW Network in 2009, this program recognizes the contributions to the field and professional accomplishments of emerging women leaders under the age of 40. The announcement was made at the 2010 CREW Network Convention and Marketplace on October 21 in San Francisco.

"We are delighted that Barbara has been recognized for her superb professional work and leadership so it comes as no surprise that she has been honored in this elite listing of real estate professionals,' said Jay Epstien, chair of DLA Piper's US Real Estate practice. "She is a talented and dedicated attorney who has already accomplished some remarkable feats early in her career, and we look forward to her continued success in the future."

Trachtenberg focuses her practice on real estate conveyancing, development, leasing and finance, including joint venture and mezzanine transactions. She has represented regional and national owners and lenders in a broad variety of commercial real estate transactions.

In 2007, Trachtenberg was one of only four lawyers named by the Boston Business Journal to its "40 under 40" list, recognizing Greater Boston's next generation of business leaders and innovators. She is also listed in Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business.
