Continuing a strong push to expand its real estate team, Polsinelli has hired Tara Darling, former managing partner of Cassin & Cassin’s Dallas office, as a shareholder in the real estate and financial services department in Dallas.

Darling, who joined the firm on Monday, is the ninth real estate lawyer the Am Law 100 firm has added since April. The firm added three lawyers to the real estate group in Washington, D.C., a three-lawyer commercial finance team in Nashville, Tennessee, and two real estate finance shareholders in Atlanta.
