Lenny Silverstein has returned to law practice by joining Dentons, after more than a decade running Preferred Apartment Communities, the publicly traded REIT which he co-founded with Atlanta apartment guru John Williams. 

Silverstein joined Dentons as senior counsel, the firm announced late last month, practicing securities and corporate finance law, just as he did at Denton’s predecessor firm, McKenna Long & Aldridge, before becoming Williams’ business partner in 2005.
