Practice / Real Estate
Commercial Real Estate
Real estate is often the most significant asset on the balance sheet—and the most complex. We represent developers, investors, lenders, and operators in the acquisition, disposition, financing, and leasing of commercial properties across asset classes.
What the work involves
Acquisitions and dispositions
Purchase and sale agreements, title and survey review, due diligence, entity formation, and closings for office, industrial, retail, multifamily, hospitality, and land transactions.
Development and joint ventures
We structure and document development projects and equity joint ventures—capital contributions, waterfalls, control rights, and exit mechanics—so the economics survive contact with the project.
Leasing
Landlord and tenant representation in office, retail, and industrial leases, ground leases, build-to-suit arrangements, and lease restructurings and workouts.
Real estate finance
Working alongside our debt finance practice on acquisition loans, construction financing, mezzanine debt, and preferred equity—on both the borrower and lender side.

How engagement & billing typically works
Real estate matters are usually engaged per transaction or per project, with the scope and fee fixed up front. For active investors and operators, we also handle a recurring docket — leasing, acquisitions, and financings — under an ongoing arrangement.
The above describes the kinds of matters this practice handles generally; it is not a representation about any particular engagement or outcome. Every transaction is different — tell us about yours.
Engage the firm
Have a transaction in motion?
Tell us about the deal — buy-side, sell-side, a financing, a lease, or a fractional-counsel arrangement. We will tell you candidly how we can help.
