​
Margaret (Meg) Joy has practiced as a corporate and commercial real estate attorney in the Philadelphia suburbs for over two decades. She has extensive experience representing sophisticated investment advisors, asset managers and real estate developers with respect to all types of real estate projects, including office, retail, residential and hotel projects. Whether negotiating a multi-million dollar agreement of sale, or a simple lease extension, Meg focuses on maximizing her client’s interests, while not being an unreasonable obstacle to compromise. Over the past ten years, Meg has developed a specialty in hotel projects. She has worked with many of the largest, most nationally recognized hotel franchisors, guiding her clients through their demanding application, due diligence and sale processes. Meg is known for her ability to manage complex real estate investment structures, simultaneously negotiating with institutional lenders, franchisors and private equity investors to achieve her client’s goals. Even on the most challenging transactions, she finds creative solutions to bring all of the parties together.
Prior to joining Ferro Steele LLC, Meg was a partner at the law firm of Unruh Turner Burke & Frees in West Chester, Pennsylvania from 2021-2026, and a member of the law firm of Randolph Joy Law LLC in Wayne, Pennsylvania from 2004-2021.
