Clients rely on our real estate attorneys as they invest in, acquire, finance, develop, construct, operate, lease, and dispose of real estate assets. Services often include responsibility for site selection, deal structure, and negotiation. When needed, our real estate lawyers also advocate for clients in real estate-related litigation including enforcement actions, bankruptcy, construction defect, homeowner association disputes, and more.
Our real estate lawyers serve a diverse range of respected regional and national organizations, including private developers, corporate owners, business users, borrowers, financial institutions, pension funds, investors, landlords, tenants, contractors, public institutions, insurance companies, governmental agencies, and municipalities. In addition to our core real estate clients, much of our work involves the real estate needs of clients in the healthcare, retail, hospitality, energy, and manufacturing industries.
The varied client base that we advise makes us highly sensitive to, and understanding of, the competing interests and concerns of each participant in a real estate matter. This helps us serve as “deal-makers” and “problem-solvers,” balancing business acumen and legal advice in helping our clients attain their goals.
