Commercial Real Estate

We advise owners, developers, investors, and operators across the full lifecycle of commercial real estate transactions, from acquisition and development through financing, repositioning, and disposition. We also represent lenders in commercial real estate lending.

Our practice is focused on complex, high-value deals that require precision, judgment, and a deep understanding of how real estate transactions function in the real world, not just on paper. We represent clients in asset and entity acquisitions, joint ventures, development agreements, construction and permanent financing, ground leases, and portfolio sales across a wide range of asset classes.

We are particularly attuned to transactions involving layered capital structures, sophisticated counterparties, and tight timelines. Our approach is proactive and solutions-oriented: anticipating issues before they become problems, negotiating from a position of strength, and keeping deals moving toward closing.

Clients work directly with partner-level counsel who understands both the legal and commercial objectives driving the transaction. The result is practical, business-minded guidance that protects value while allowing transactions to proceed efficiently and strategically.
