Real Estate Transactions
Owners, investors, and tenants of commercial real estate rely on our legal advice to deal with the sale, acquisition, development, transfer, lease of office buildings, retail space, manufacturing plants, and business locations, and to address title, zoning, access, and construction matters that arise in such transactions.
Our real estate experience is often called upon as part of merger and acquisition transactions where the lease or transfer of real estate is a valuable component of the transaction. Clients rely upon us to complete real estate financing transactions, permitting them to obtain capital from local and national financial institutions and public agencies, for the acquisition and development of commercial real estate projects.
