Real Estate Transactions

Structuring our clients’ deals, due diligence analyses, and real estate agreements
Our Approach

Real estate transactions vary widely in size, type, and complexity. We are equipped to help analyze, negotiate, and memorialize any deal – whether commercial or residential.

We counsel our clients every step along the way: from negotiating a letter of intent; to drafting purchase and sale agreements; to reviewing and negotiating loan terms and bank documents, and regulatory agreements; and conducting the closing. Financial institutions and private developers ask us to perform due diligence to confirm that a site is suitable for a contemplated development, and to understand the approvals processes and potential challenges that lie ahead. We also help our clients secure PILOTs and other IDA financial assistance.
