Attorneys Amber B. Glidewell

Commercial real estate transactions demand decisive leadership, precision, and practical judgment.

Amber Glidewell is the Managing Partner of Cassidy Coates Price and focuses her practice on all aspects of commercial real estate. Her broad experience in complex transactions enables her to provide pragmatic, business‑oriented legal advice focused on efficiently closing transactions while managing risk.

Amber regularly represents developers in the development, acquisition, disposition, and financing of commercial real estate projects. She also represents borrowers and lenders in acquisition and construction financing, as well as workouts involving distressed or underperforming loans. In addition, she advises financial institutions in matters involving non‑performing loans, including judicial foreclosures and loan restructurings.

A significant portion of Amber’s practice involves representing commercial landlords and tenants in the negotiation and preparation of leases for office, retail, and industrial properties, including ground leases. Her extensive leasing experience provides a practical understanding of negotiation dynamics, allowing her to anticipate issues and move transactions forward efficiently.

Amber joined Cassidy Coates Price in 2007 after serving for two years as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable D. Garrison Hill of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in Greenville, South Carolina.
