Morris, Manning & Martin Hires Fannie Mae Specialist Allison Gould for its Commercial Real Estate Lending Group


ATLANTA, GA– Morris, Manning & Martin's Commercial Real Estate Lending Group gained more firepower recently with the addition of M. Allison Gould, (top right photo) who spent 21 years as in-house counsel for Fannie Mae.

She was most recently Vice President and Assistant General Counsel in the Atlanta office of CWCapital, LLC, a Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS™) lender.

During her extensive career as Associate General Counsel and Director at Fannie Mae, she integrated strategic business knowledge with balanced legal advice to help achieve and exceed multifamily production goals. She also gained practical experience drafting regulatory guidelines and streamlining the organization's processes.

While in the private sector, Ms. Gould acted as transaction manager, working with underwriters, producers, closers and outside counsel to assure successful multifamily loan deliveries to Fannie Mae.

"The relationships Allison built and the expertise she gained during her time at Fannie Mae will be invaluable to our lending group and our clients," said Morris, Manning & Martin Managing Partner Bob Saudek. (photo at left) "With the addition of Allison, our lending team and our clients will have a unique edge as we expand our Fannie Mae multifamily lending practice," he added.

She earned her J.D. from Emory University School Of Law and her undergraduate degree from Furman University. Her accomplishments include serving as past co-chair of the American Bar Association's Affordable Housing Committee.

Ms. Gould is one of four new attorneys joining the Atlanta-based law firm recently. The firm added two new intellectual property partners to its Washington, D.C. office and added a new healthcare and real estate partner who is establishing a new office in Savannah.
