Assistance With Commercial Real Estate Matters

We provide legal help with the purchase, sale, or use of commercial property. Our commercial real estate services include:

• Property sales and purchases - We represent buyers and sellers of commercial property, including office buildings, retail stores, restaurants, warehouses and industrial buildings, or apartment complexes and multi-family residential properties. We can ensure that you understand the laws and regulations that apply to these properties, the allowed uses of buildings and land, environmental concerns, or any other issues that may affect the sale or planned use of the property.
• Property development and improvements - If you are planning a construction project or other improvements to commercial property, we can help you address issues such as zoning and land use, annexation, variances, easements, special use permits, traffic routing, property taxes, and approvals from local, state, or federal government authorities. With our knowledge of business financing and capitalization, we can assist in obtaining loans or investment funds to allow you to undertake your development project. We can also help you understand how to make use of development incentives and coordinate with inspectors, surveyors, architects, engineers, contractors, insurance companies, or other parties who can help you carry out your plans and achieve your goals.
• Commercial leases - We provide representation for landlords leasing commercial property, helping them draft lease agreements that will protect their rights while ensuring they can earn a profit on their property. We also represent commercial tenants, ensuring that they understand their rights in a lease regarding matters such as allowed improvements to property, subleasing, and responsibility for utilities, property taxes, and other expenses.
• Real estate litigation - We provide representation to landlords and tenants in disputes involving commercial leases, and we can also assist with litigation involving commercial real estate purchase contracts and closings, title and boundary disputes, permits, approvals for property development, and disputes with contractors. In these cases, we will work to reach an out-of-court settlement when possible, including through the use of mediation or arbitration, but if necessary, we are fully prepared to address matters in the courtroom through litigation.
