Darya Maltseva BA., J.D.

Bio

Darya brings a practical, business-minded approach to commercial real estate transactions, combining a strategic perspective with strong attention to detail. She delivers tailored solutions that align with her client’s broader goals to help move projects forward efficiently.

As an associate in the Commercial Real Estate and Development Group, Darya is building a broad commercial real estate practice and partners in advising clients on all key aspects of commercial real estate law, including acquisitions, dispositions, development, and financing. She works with a range of clients, from experienced to first-time developers, providing guidance at every stage of a project. Before joining Robins Appleby as an associate, Darya was both a summer and articling student who assisted in all of the firm’s practice areas, with a significant focus on commercial real estate, and real estate development in particular.

As a former Division 1 tennis athlete, Darya’s competitive nature  instilled a strong work ethic and commitment to excellence – qualities she brings to her legal practice. During law school, Darya completed a student-proposed internship with a family lawyer, an experience that strengthened her client-focused approach and deepened her understanding of how to align legal strategy with her clients’ business and personal goals.

When she’s not practicing law, Darya enjoys staying active, spending time outdoors, and catching up with family and friends. As a former competitive tennis player, she now plays recreationally – more for fun than trophies.
