Real Estate

We represent national and local developers, lenders, investors, institutional and corporate owners, governmental and quasi-governmental entities, users, managers, construction companies and brokers in all areas of real estate law. The practice is dynamic and includes a large volume of work for developers and governmental entities in both incentive-based redevelopment and traditional projects. In redevelopment projects, the real estate attorneys work in project teams which include lawyers in the firm’s Public Finance practice group, negotiating incentives and assembling properties by purchase or condemnation, and lawyers in the Litigation practice group, defending and prosecuting condemnation cases, land use disputes, intergovernmental conflicts and litigation contesting the validity of permitting and incentives.
