Real Estate Transactions

 

Most deals are not lost on the purchase price. They are lost in the study period, in a title exception nobody priced, or in a closing condition that turned out to depend on someone else's schedule.

 

We represent homebuilders, developers, investors, owners and lenders in acquisitions, dispositions and the diligence in between — from the letter of intent through closing and the obligations that survive it. Our work spans residential communities, retail centers, office and flex buildings, industrial and outdoor storage sites, and mixed-use and multifamily projects.

 

Several of our lawyers have worked in-house for owners, builders and a lender, which shapes how we handle diligence: we are trying to find the problem early enough that it is still a price adjustment rather than a dispute.
