Real-World Real Estate Business Experience

The attorneys in our real estate practice are familiar with the real-world issues that affect real estate businesses; in fact, one of our lawyers is a broker and a commercial property owner. While negotiating a contract, closing a deal or advising a client, our attorneys view the transaction from the perspectives of both an attorney and a businessperson. This insider’s view allows us to remain on the pulse of the industry. We are aware of changes in the market while it is happening, not after it is published. This real-time knowledge helps us accurately value a deal during contract negotiations and better understand potential roadblocks to closing a transaction. By straddling the business and legal worlds, we can better assess the potential issues that may arise and communicate more effectively with our clients on their own terms.

Drafting Solid Contracts that Avoid Disputes

Our real estate lawyers offer a comprehensive range of services, enabling our team to handle the entire life cycle of a real estate transaction. We have substantial real estate litigation experience and take action at the contractual stage to protect our clients. While negotiating a contract, we carefully assess the provisions for loopholes that might result in disputes or leave clients with inadequate recourse should a problem occur. We draft a solid contract that puts our clients in the best position possible.
