Development From Start to Finish

Our developer clients frequently involve us in development planning prior to the identification of a final real estate parcel. We assist our clients with the initial investigations, permitting issues, environmental issues, and government relations to determine how a site satisfies our clients' various requirements and expectations. Following the determination of the subject site, we work closely with our clients on the negotiation and preparation of the acquisition documentation, communicating regularly with our client on all aspects of zoning, permitting, financing and leasing. These open lines of communication enable us to effectively assist our client in dealing with its development professionals, including construction companies, architects and engineers.

Real Estate Financing

We represent state and national lenders in the financing of all forms of real estate including hotel, multi-family properties, commercial real estate, and industrial real estate. Because of our experience in developer representation, we understand the practical aspects of development and are able to deliver to our lending clients practical and effective alternate resolutions to difficult development transactions to afford our client the opportunity to get the deal done.

Commercial Finance

Our attorneys have more than 20 years of experience representing both lenders and borrowers in commercial financing transactions of all levels of complexity. We have found that understanding both perspectives in these financings to be invaluable. Negotiations become quicker, less contentious and much less costly when there is an appreciation of the other party's key concerns. We bring those experiences and insights to each transaction in our effort to provide our client with additional value.
