Commercial Real Estate

When you own or operate a business, unless you are operating it out of your home, you will have to address issues related to real estate. Do you buy or lease the space necessary to run your operation? What terms should you require in a commercial lease or real estate purchase? 

We offer more than four decades of experience to businesses and business owners, handling a broad range of commercial real estate issues. Because we understand that every commercial real estate transaction is different, we take the time to listen carefully, so that we can learn your specific needs and objectives. We always focus on results, using our extensive skill, knowledge, experience and resources to help you get the outcome you seek. We place a premium on communication and responsiveness, so that you always know where you stand and what your options are.

Our Commercial Real Estate Practice

We provide comprehensive counsel to individuals and businesses involved in commercial real estate matters, handling all issues related to:

• The sale or purchase of commercial property—We will work with you at all stages of a commercial real estate deal, from the negotiation of terms to the closing.

We will also address any potential title issues.
• The lease of commercial property—We represent commercial landlords or tenants, negotiating the terms of a lease, as well as preparing and executing all documents to put a lease agreement in place.
• The development of commercial property—We counsel developers, builders, owners, contractors and investors of commercial projects, advising you regarding all potential legal matters, such as compliance with state and federal regulations, the preparation and administration of contracts, and litigation arising out of commercial developments.
