Commercial real estate cycles demand that land and building strategies be in a constant state of evaluation. The vast body of law governing property transactions, land use, taxes and financing must be followed carefully to avoid violations and fines or costly mistakes. As prices rise and fall and as the business environment changes and laws are amended, you need a legal attorney with the expertise and resources that can benefit your portfolio.

Real estate contracts are complex by nature, and in a volatile market, there is more room for negotiation on even basic points. Our attorneys work with hundreds of different contract arrangements for real estate sales, development and leases. Our large body of work gives clients the assurance that we know multiple ways to structure deals fairly and represent our clients’ best interests.

Our 25+ year history serving the transactional and litigation needs of commercial real estate incorporates a thorough understanding of business, financial, tax and economic issues. We represent the full spectrum from individual buyers and sellers to real estate investment trusts, management companies, developers and financial institutions.
