Robert Botkin, Sarah Hutchins, and Ellen Smith will identify emerging cybersecurity and fraud risks in commercial real estate transactions and operations during the 2026 Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Convention in Miami Beach.

Their panel will also help inform commercial real estate professionals about emerging schemes such as AI-enabled phishing, deepfake impersonation, ransomware attacks, and wire fraud during high-value closings. CRE professionals will be left with practical takeaways on how to strengthen their cybersecurity and fraud prevention strategies.

Parker Poe has a long history of partnering with clients and friends of the firm to support CREW. Its annual convention brings together brokers, developers, investors, property managers, asset managers, lenders, in-house counsel, and attorneys to discuss the latest commercial real estate trends.
