Paul and Ryan join Liskow ACREL Fellows Leon Reymond, Jr., Marilyn Maloney, and David Weiner. Marilyn served as the President of ACREL in 2020.

Admission to ACREL is by invitation only, after a rigorous selection process. ACREL’s approximately 1,000 distinguished, nationally-known lawyers have been elected to Fellowship not only for their outstanding legal ability, experience, and high standards of professional and ethical conduct, but also for their contributions to the real estate and legal professions through their practices, their legal writings, and public speaking.

Paul Kitziger is an experienced business lawyer who regularly assists clients with a wide range of business transactions, including real estate transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and financing transactions. Additionally, Paul advises clients on business entity structuring and formation. Paul represents both local and international clients from the energy, petrochemical, hospitality, industrial, and financial sectors.

Ryan Christiansen is a real estate lawyer focusing on the acquisition, development, and financing of commercial, industrial, and residential properties and negotiations of commercial leases. As a Louisiana licensed title insurance agent and president of the firm’s title agency, he also counsels clients in the review and analysis of complex title issues and in the issuance of title insurance policies.

Congratulations to the other 36 new Fellows included in the ACREL Class of 2022! According to ACREL, Fellows are leaders of the real estate bars in the cities and states where they practice and are generally regarded as among the country’s most influential real estate practitioners.
