LaToya Parker advises companies and individuals on the acquisition, development, leasing, and sale of real estate across the country. Her clients include Fortune 500 companies in the utility, health care, financial services, and manufacturing industries, as well as developers and professional athletes. Across the board, clients value her practical, solution-oriented approach, her dedication to understanding their business, and her natural ability to connect with them.

LaToya has advised clients on a broad spectrum of commercial real estate acquisitions and dispositions, including medical, retail, industrial, office, mixed-use, and planned community projects. Corporate clients also turn to her for their real estate leasing and licensing needs from North Carolina to California. Additionally, she has advised developers on Interstate Land Sales Act (ILSA) compliance, including representing them in registering subdivisions with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

LaToya participates in several industry-oriented organizations, including Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) of Charlotte and the Urban Land Institute's Charlotte Chapter. She was a member of the inaugural class of "Leaders Under 40," a leadership program for emerging leaders through Charlotte's Community Building Initiative, and she is a graduate of the Arts & Science Council's Cultural Leadership Training Program.

When LaToya is not practicing law or serving the community, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Augustus, and their two young daughters, working on her latest DIY/interior design project, and vocal performance.
