Womble Bond Dickinson Partner Morris Ellison has been appointed Vice-Chair of the Counselors of Real Estate (CRE) Ethics Committee.
The Counselors of Real Estate, established in 1953, is an international consortium of credentialed real estate problem solvers who provide advice on complex real property and land-related matters. Membership is extended by invitation—though qualified individuals may self-apply—and includes principals of prominent real estate, financial, legal, and accounting firms as well as developers, economists, futurists, and ranking leaders of Wall Street and academia. Only 1,000 professionals in 22 countries and U.S. territories hold the CRE® (Counselor of Real Estate) credential.
The CRE Ethics Committee is responsible for overseeing the organization’s commitment to the principles of Integrity, Competence, Community, Trust, and Responsibility.
Ellison’s broad-based practice includes commercial real estate transactions, economic development, commercial litigation and counseling of entrepreneurs, startup and mature knowledge-based companies. He represents local, national and international investors, lenders and real estate developers in the development, financing and disposition of commercial properties and other assets. He has been a CRE member since 2020.
