Elizabeth L.M. Cramer Managing Partner Goosmann Rose Colvard & Cramer, Asheville

Elizabeth Cramer is managing partner at Goosmann Rose Colvard & Cramer in Asheville with 18 years of practice. She is best known for commercial, residential, development and other transactional real estate law and transactional business law. “I believe that well-structured deals have the power to create long-term value, not only for my clients, but also for the communities and industries in which we live and/or operate,” Cramer said. Her practice focuses on helping clients complete transactions that are positive, purposeful, future-focused and beneficial. Her most memorable matters include representing a long-standing local business during the 2008-2010 financial recession when all commercial and business lines of credit were being called due. Cramer negotiated for the purchase of the loans by new lenders and a refinance to stabilize the client. The business remains thriving. She recently represented a 60-plus year-old veteran client, who had been homeless most of his post-military life, in the purchase of his first home. As managing partner, Cramer helps create innovations and standards for improvement of practice.
