ERIC ALLON
Bernkopf Goodman LLP
Unsatisfied with the industry’s lack of
proptech implementation concerning
building design and construction, Eric
Allon grew determined to establish
advances and declare change by under-
standing its full impact. Learning from
the leading real estate technology ser-
vice providers, Allon quickly became an
expert on the subject relating to lease
negotiations, tenants’ desires, costs
absorbed by owners and more. As a real estate law partner and
attorney at Bernkopf Goodman LLP, Allon soon established a repu-
tation as the “Proptech Guy” within the Boston commercial real
estate space. With wide-spread experience in representing both
landlords and tenants in lease negotiations, and extensive knowl-
edge related to industry disruptors, acquisitions, management,
financing transactions and commercial loan workouts, Allon exe-
cuted a notable transaction in representing the footwear company,
Clark’s Americas Inc. in its new headquarter lease at a four story,
120,000-square-foot office property; a transaction which the Boston
Business Journal referred to as the “Real Estate Deal of the Year.” A
true leader in the space, Allon has penned a series of industry
technology-related op-ed articles for the Boston Business Journal.
He frequently speaks on panels, moderates industry events and
leads his own proptech seminars. Influencing even greater masses,
his LinkedIn posts receive substantial attention and often perform
as trending stories. Additionally, Allon is a regular guest speaker
and mentor at the Harvard Business School of Entrepreneurship.
