Practices
Real Estate
Our real estate practice covers every aspect of the most sophisticated commercial real estate transactions. Representing builders and developers, institutional lenders, building owners, tenants, and real estate brokerage firms, we are engaged in each phase of our clients’ real estate transactions, from the formation and structuring of entities to the acquisition of land, from the drafting of construction contracts to complex financing, leasing, management, and brokerage agreements. Our creativity, responsiveness, and attentiveness to clients’ business needs have led to long-term relationships with a wide variety of clients, many of whom are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
We encourage our clients to think of us as part of their ongoing team of internal and external professionals. We pride ourselves on our ability to get to know our clients’ business goals and in assisting our clients in attaining those goals. Our lawyers are counselors, teachers, and advocates. Our clients also routinely seek our advice and assistance with zoning, land use, and environmental problems; debt restructuring; tenant relations problems; insurance claims; and other complex problems arising from the ownership and management of real property. As part of our comprehensive approach to each representation, we have access to the firm’s considerable resources in litigation, bankruptcy, governmental, environmental, and tax law to develop sophisticated and innovative strategies for our real estate clients.
