In Richmond, he led the construction loan financing (and subsequent modifications) of Riverfront Plaza; served as owner’s counsel in the structuring of the Gateway Plaza project; and represented SunTrust Bank, the lead agent in construction loan financing for the MeadWestvaco Building. Beyond the capital, Terry assisted the Fairfax County government with the development and leasing of office buildings at Fairfax Government Center and provides general real estate and finance counsel for ARCAP, LC, a large manufactured home community (MHC) investor operator with offices in Tidewater.

Joining Hirschler Fleischer in 1982, Terry was appointed to the firm's board of directors in 1995, and is past chairman of the real estate section. In 2002, he was named executive vice president.
