Real Estate Law Practice

In our commercial real estate practice we represent owners, developers, users, property managers, lenders, contractors and architects. We seek to understand and solve the critical legal and tax issues and the strategic business concerns of our clients and the other parties involved. Our clients consult us about a wide variety of transactions and issues, including:
* Property acquisitions and dispositions (including tax-free exchanges);
* Eminent domain proceedings;
* Loan workouts and foreclosures;
* Financings (including mortgage financings, capital and operating lease arrangements, equity participation arrangements, limited partnership/limited liability company syndications, real estate investment trusts and other “hybrid” arrangements);
* Condominium development and management;
* Property tax appeals and applications for exemptions; and
* Owner/Contractor agreements and Owner/Architect agreements (conventional, construction manager, design/build and the like);
* Real estate brokerage issues and disputes.

See also the separate discussions under the headings “Financing Transactions,” “Zoning and Land Use Planning,” “Private/Public Joint Ventures,” “Construction Law and Litigation,” “Environmental Practice” and “Bankruptcy and Creditors’ Rights.”

Because we have traditionally represented medium sized entrepreneurial companies, we recognize that we must effectively manage a number of areas outside of real estate law, such as tax, environmental, licensing, and insurance law, without creating undue expense or complexity. We also recognize that the deal must be done on the client’s timetable, not ours. As our practice has developed to include major national companies -- shopping center and restaurant chains, real estate investment trusts, and Fortune 500 companies who operate development companies, for example -- we have been able to develop experience in many highly specialized types of transactions that allows us to serve all of our clients with greater creativity and effectiveness.
