McCarter & English added Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg partner Richard S. Roisman to its Philadelphia office earlier this month.

The addition brings the firm?s Philadelphia outpost to just under 20 attorneys and follows on the heels of the firm?s hiring of corporate partner F. Traynor Beck in the city six months ago.

?We are extremely pleased that Richard is joining the firm,? Joel Horowitz, managing partner of the Philadelphia office, said in a statement. ?I have known Richard for many years, and his experience in handling all types of sophisticated real estate and commercial financing will enhance our transactional capabilities in the Philadelphia region, which have already grown significantly with the recent addition of Tray Beck to our corporate practice.?

Roisman?s practice focuses on real estate, commercial and corporate finance on behalf of debtors and creditors.  In March, Roisman was part of a Klehr Harrison team that assisted on one of the first commercial mortgage-backed securities deals done since that market dried up in 2008.

The refinancing of Keystone Property Group's Keystone Summit Corporate Park in Cranberry Township, Pa., marked the first time in two years the market has seen a multiple borrower, commercial mortgage-backed security offering. Klehr Harrison represented Keystone on the deal.
