The Real Estate Practice Group is devoted full time to commercial real estate-related matters, including real estate acquisitions, loans, leases and litigation. Sale and acquisition transactions typically range from $500,000 to $250 million in size. Contingent upon the specific transaction, the Group may represent any party associated with a deal, varying from seller to buyer, lender, broker, developer, or title insurance company.

The Group’s lawyers are regularly asked to represent lenders and borrowers on loan transactions. Such loans are typically secured by real estate, receivables, equipment and inventory, although occasionally secured loan requests involve special creative financing attributes. The Group represents a variety of developers, including developers of P.U.D.’s, office buildings, warehouses, condominiums and other types of properties.

In addition to the litigation activities of the Maritime/Admiralty Litigation, Commercial Litigation and Insurance Litigation Practices, our Real Estate litigators regularly practice in the full spectrum of Real Estate Litigation including real property contract disputes, commercial and residential foreclosures, commercial and residential landlord-tenant litigation, homeowners associations and condominium law, title insurance litigation, eminent domain, inverse condemnation litigation, quiet title litigation, telecommunication tower litigation and appeals of municipality and administrative final agency action related to real estate.
