Real Estate Transactions

Real estate owners, managers, investors, developers and lenders come to us because our depth of experience and reasonable fee structure is an attractive combination, one that is hard to find in a geographic area where the costs of doing business, including legal fees, are among the highest in the nation.  Consistent with our philosophy of tailoring our services to the demands of the particular matter and the desires of the client, our approach to real estate transactions is direct, hands-on and efficient.  Whether you are a sophisticated real estate investor or a relative newcomer, whether the property is residential or commercial, we can help you to get to the goal line.  Real estate litigation has always been a mainstay of the firm, and our practitioners have handled hundreds of matters involving breached contracts, boundary line disputes, land use issues, construction liens, landlord-tenant disputes, mortgage priority disputes, foreclosures, real estate fraud and others too numerous to mention here.  That wealth of experience is brought to bear in transactions, where problem-spotting and proactive drafting are critical to insuring the integrity of the transaction and protecting the client.  The transactional real estate services that we offer include those in the following areas:

• Residential and Commercial Purchases and Sales
• Financing
• Leasing
