Buying, Selling, Development, and Leasing

For businesses interested in buying or selling real property, we offer experience in all aspects of this process, including financing.

For businesses that want to develop real property for their own use, we assist in land acquisition, ascertaining requirements for development, negotiating approval processes with government entities, assuring compliance with building codes, securing financing, and drafting construction contracts.

For businesses that want to lease real property to house their operations, we represent owners and tenants in all types lease transactions, including ground leases, commercial leases, and sale/leasebacks.

Representing Clients in Real Estate Disputes

When disputes arise over purchase, construction, or lease transactions, our experienced real estate, construction, and commercial litigation lawyers provide a solid and vigorous defense.

In a dispute, we rely upon years of experience in developing strategies for seeking an acceptable negotiated resolution first and foremost.  In some instances, mediation or private arbitration can be used to help resolve a dispute relatively quickly, and at much less expense than a trial.

If litigation and ultimately a trial are inevitable, we work with clients to develop a strategic litigation approach around their objectives, and work tirelessly in seeking the outcome desired.
