Levy will take on a pivotal role, working closely with Amherst’s chairman Sean Dobson, to steer the New York City-headquartered firm through strategic and operational growth.

His career highlights include a notable stint as co-head of the real estate group at Weil, Gotshal & Manges since 2019. Before that, Levy spent 21 years making his mark at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
“As one of the foremost experts and real estate lawyers in the industry, Evan is uniquely positioned to identify and capitalize on strategic initiatives that further optimize our investment platform,” Dobson said in the company’s press release. “Adding a leader of Evan’s caliber demonstrates the strength of Amherst’s platform and growth potential, and I am thrilled to welcome him to our team.”
