Your strategic partners on every aspect of real estate law

Just as no two real estate transactions are alike, our clients come to the negotiating table with many perspectives and goals. Yet every client needs legal solutions that make business sense. We invest the time to understand what’s driving the deal, the project, the operational challenge or the dispute in front of you  — but we want to know what your medium and long-term goals are, too. You can expect the best real estate legal insight delivered with optimal efficiency and effectiveness. We pride ourselves on helping you look at the big picture, while we take care of the often-complex regulations and sophisticated technical knowledge required to get real estate transactions and projects completed with a minimum of risk and fuss. Our goal always will be to help you build and protect the present and future value of your business.

Extensive experience with a range of real estate objectives and assets

Broadly speaking, our clients form three distinct groups:

• Clients for whom real estate is their primary business, including developers, builders, contractors and property managers.
• Clients for whom real estate is both an asset and a business requirement, such as manufacturers, retailers, service providers and developers of natural resources.
• Clients for whom real estate is primarily a financial investment, including real estate investment trusts (REIT), venture capitalists, financial institutions and other lenders, and mutual funds.

Our experience covers a diverse spectrum of industries and asset types, including but not limited to data centers, financial institutions, franchise, health care, hospitality, manufacturing, multifamily, nonprofit and retail, such as big-box retailers and shopping centers.
