Bell Nunnally corporate and real estate transactional attorney Ty Johnson has been elevated to partner, effective January 1. Johnson, who joined the firm in 2022, was previously senior counsel.

“What sets Ty apart is his unique ability to visualize and walk clients through complex processes – both in terms of the business life cycle and specific deals under consideration. Clients appreciate his ability to effectively communicate the opportunities and the challenges in each scenario, a valuable skill he brings to our interdisciplinary client teams here at Bell Nunnally,” said Christopher Trowbridge, Bell Nunnally managing partner. “We congratulate Ty on this next step in his career and look forward to his continued success.”

Johnson is a member of the Bell Nunnally’s Corporate and Securities, Real Estate, Commercial Finance and Mergers and Acquisitions practices. He represents clients – across a wide array of industry sectors, including retail, restaurants, real estate and health care – from startups to established enterprises, in all phases of the business life cycle, including corporate governance, ongoing operations and exit strategies. Johnson offers clients unique perspective in deal financial aspects, having experience representing both lenders and borrowers in financing transactions related to acquisitions and sales, commercial financing, investor relations and loan negotiations.
