REAL ESTATE LAW

The attorneys in the Firm's Real Estate Practice Section bring practical experience to real estate and financing matters, including the general representation of owners, developers, buyers and sellers of developed and undeveloped real property. Our real estate attorneys also regularly handle commercial and residential real estate transactions and closings, leases, financing transactions, and the issuance of title insurance and title opinions. Working for individual and corporate clients and as members of professional teams with engineers, architects, planners and economists, our attorneys have experience in negotiating, preparing, administering and interpreting construction management contracts and general contractor and subcontractor agreements. The Real Estate Practice Section also works with ground leasing, lease-backs and other techniques for minimizing capital requirements. The Real Estate Practice Section works seamlessly with the Firm's Land Development and Environmental Practice Sections to assist purchasers and developers through the regulatory, permit and entitlement process; works with the Firm's Commercial Finance Practice Section to assist with structuring site acquisition financing, loan modifications, loan assumptions and other financing arrangements; and works with the Firm's Business and Corporate Practice Section to assist with structuring the property partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other legal entity to take title to the property.
