R&E's role included consultation, preparation and filing of merger agreement, board of director and membership resolutions to approve merger of Arkansas and Alabama nonprofit organizations into a Louisiana nonprofit corporation. The merger agreement was approved by the membership and boards of directors of three nonprofit corporations and was filed with Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama Secretaries of State.

R&E worked on transactions involving condominiumizing The Power Center, a multi-use, hybrid public-private complex developed to empower an underserved community in a space donated by the Fiesta Mart Corporation.
