Commercial Real Estate

Since the inception of our firm, we have evolved with the changing local real estate market. In the last decade, we have helped clients respond to market forces and assisted clients in taking advantage of alternative financing sources, dealing with overbuilt markets and complying with a complex body of local, state and national environmental laws.

We work with developers, owners, property managers, tenants, financial institutions and investors in all types of transactions from routine purchase agreements to complicated development plans. Among our clients are international corporations, local buyers and sellers of real property, landlords and tenants, and investment and property-management companies. Facilities range from Class A office buildings and convention centers to planned communities.

Our real estate practice includes:

• Acquisitions
• Brokerage commission disputes
• Clean-up reimbursements
• Construction-contract issues and litigation
• Contract negotiations
• Debt restructurings
• Environmental remediation
• Foreclosures
• Landlord-tenant disputes
• Lease negotiations and contracts
• Loan workouts
• Project finance, including mortgages, sale-leasebacks, like-kind exchange and non-traditional financing sources
• Property-management issues
• REIT formations and related issues
• Title-insurance matters
• Zoning issues

Commercial real estate matters often call for knowledge and expertise in specialized and related areas of law. As a multi-disciplinary firm, we have the professional staff and resources to address a broad scope of questions. Our real estate attorneys often work with members of the firm's corporate, banking and litigation practices to provide our clients with a full range of legal services.
