About Thomas DeRue
Law firm trained CLO who came up through top firms doing real estate, corporate, and complex commercial work, then moved in-house and scaled into a true enterprise legal leader. Aside from top firms, before joining FirstKey Homes, I also served as Chief Legal Counsel to a state legislature, bringing real regulatory and government affairs DNA, not just theoretical exposure. Extremely credible with boards, understands how regulators think, and I'm beyond comfortable handling high stakes issues where legal, political, and reputational risk intersect. 25+ years of experience advising boards, CEOs, and private equity sponsors in regulated, capital-intensive businesses. Expert in corporate governance, structured finance/securitization, real estate, debt covenant compliance, M&A/asset transactions, legislative/regulatory affairs, and enterprise risk management. Known for pragmatic, business-forward counsel that protects enterprise value and accelerates execution.
