Our Difference

Representing real estate developers, investors, lenders and borrowers, property managers, buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants, brokers, and receivers in bankruptcy, among others, our Real Estate team possesses industry knowledge, a well-rounded perspective, and a nuanced understanding of the issues and challenges all of the parties face. This skill set enables us to readily identify and solve problems and close transactions more efficiently and economically than would otherwise be possible.

Our lawyers are at the forefront on cutting-edge issues impacting the industry, advising on many of the latest trends including artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and experiential properties, adaptive reuse projects, co-working and agile workplace arrangements, and the latest in innovative live-work-play amenities. We are also active members of numerous real estate industry groups including Urban Land Institute (ULI) and NAOIP.
