Real Estate

Acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, development, and disputes — for investors, operators, and family principals.

Overview

Real estate is rarely just a transaction. Each deal sits inside a longer arc: a portfolio strategy, a 1031 timeline, a family succession, a development pipeline. We represent owners and operators through the full life cycle — from letter of intent through closing, lease-up, refinance, and eventual disposition.

Our approach

We negotiate documents that reflect how the asset will actually be operated, not the abstract ideal of either party's first draft. Title, survey, environmental, and entitlement issues are surfaced early, while there is still time to fix them, instead of papered over at closing.

Who we serve

  • Private real estate investors and family offices
  • Sponsors and operators of multi-family, retail, and mixed-use assets
  • Developers navigating entitlement and construction
  • Landlords and tenants in commercial leasing
