Diane L. Lidz, who has nearly 30 years of experience in
representing clients in various types of commercial real estate transactions,
has joined Hartman Simons as a partner.

construction contracting; and loan workouts.
“The commercial real estate markets in
Atlanta, the Southeast and across the nation are picking up, making this an
ideal time to add a lawyer of Diane’s considerable skill and experience to our
firm,” said Summey Orr, managing partner of Hartman Simons. “Diane also has an
outstanding rapport with clients, and the time she takes to really dig in and
understand their needs and businesses will serve them and us very well.”

Virginia School of Law, Lidz is a member of the Atlanta Bar Association, the
CREW Network and the International Council of Shopping Centers. She graduated
