Spanning all aspects of the financing, acquisition and development process, from negotiation of letters of intent and purchase and sale agreements through project completion and permanent financing, our attorneys have the ability to manage all manner of commercial transactions, small or large, simple or complex.

Our real estate attorneys routinely provide quality representation to clients in the sale and purchase of commercial real estate, including contract negotiation and preparation, due diligence requirements, zoning and land use issues, title insurance and survey matters, and document preparation.  Our firm also provides a variety of closing services, including commercial sales and purchases and loan closings.  We routinely manage the complicated real estate due diligence that is required in these and other real estate transactions.

Our commercial leasing clients include landlords, tenants and lenders in transactions involving office buildings, office condominiums and flex-space, industrial warehouses, shopping centers, retail properties and other commercial projects in multiple and diverse markets. In addition, we handle specialized leasing transactions, such as master leases of income-producing properties.
