Clients continually call on our team for complex real estate transactions because they know that we make their business goals a priority. We seamlessly deliver real-time, innovative solutions to help them identify real estate opportunities, increase efficiencies and minimize risk.

We develop long-standing relationships with our clients and deliver a high level of service from attorneys they have known and trusted for years. We use this client-focused approach, whether we are representing the most prominent commercial developers, advising major banking clients on large portfolio financings, or handling loan and servicing transactions for a range of clients. Our client service is just one reason our real estate attorneys have been recognized by several leading industry sources, including Chambers USA.

We provide vigorous negotiation and advocacy for clients in all areas of real estate transactions, including the development, acquisition, sale, financing, leasing, management, and operation of individual properties and large real estate portfolios. We help clients understand, protect, and maximize ownership and use rights in a broad range of real estate projects and investments. We also represent clients in their dealings with local officials, as well as state, national, and international agencies on issues such as regulatory compliance, land use, and zoning.

Because we have represented clients from all sides of a transaction, we understand every angle and perspective of the key players, from lenders and investors to developers, operators, buyers, sellers, lessors, and lessees. We represent financial institutions, insurance companies, hedge funds, and real estate-focused private equity funds, individuals, municipalities, and corporations. We understand the inner workings of the industries in which our clients do business, including biotechnology, energy, food and beverage, hospitality, health care, industrial/manufacturing, multifamily, and retail.

We work seamlessly across offices and with attorneys in all practice areas to coordinate complex projects across jurisdictions, industries, and areas of law.
