Real Estate
Real estate is an asset before it is a legal document.
We represent owners, developers, investors, operators, and capital partners across the life of the asset: acquisition, development, financing, operation, disposition, and dispute.
The objective is not simply getting the deal closed. It is protecting what happens next.
01
Transactions & Leasing
Control the asset. Define the terms. Protect the exit.
We structure acquisitions, dispositions, and leases around the economics that brought the parties to the table. That means understanding more than the contract.
What are you acquiring? What can you do with it? What obligations survive closing? Where is the leverage? What happens when the assumptions change?
Purchase and sale agreements, commercial leases, letters of intent, title and survey, easements, due diligence, ownership structures, assignments, and closing.
The paperwork should serve the deal. Not become the deal.
02
Development, Land Use & Zoning
A site has one value. An executable site has another.
Development lives between vision and permission. We help clients navigate that space.
We advise developers, owners, and investors on site control, zoning, entitlements, development agreements, municipal approvals, easements, utilities, platting, and incentives.
Legal entitlement is only one layer. A project must also make sense across capital, design, infrastructure, timing, and exit. We approach development with all of it in view.
The question is never simply whether it can be approved. It is whether it can actually be built.
03
Real Estate Finance
Capital has a position. Make sure yours does too.
Real estate finance determines more than how a project gets funded. It determines priority, control, risk, and what happens when the plan changes.
We represent borrowers, developers, sponsors, and private capital in acquisition financing, construction loans, private debt, seller financing, preferred equity, joint ventures, guarantees, and workouts.
When multiple sources fund one project, every layer has its own economics and its own rights. Senior debt. Sponsor equity. Investor capital. Seller paper. Subordinate financing.
We structure the relationships between them so the project has enough capital to execute, and enough flexibility to survive reality.
04
Real Estate Disputes
Sometimes protecting the asset means enforcing the deal.
Real estate disputes are rarely just about the contract. They are about possession, control, timing, cash flow, and leverage.
We represent owners, developers, investors, landlords, and tenants in disputes over purchases and sales, leases, title, easements, development agreements, defaults, and failed transactions.
Litigation is a tool. The objective may be possession, performance, a negotiated exit, recovery of capital, or keeping a valuable deal alive.
We identify the outcome first. Then we build the strategy around it.
