Real Estate: Mainly Dirt

The Real Estate Practice at Cole Schotz is widely recognized for advising on some of the most significant and complex transactions in the country. In New York and beyond, the team guides clients through acquisitions, dispositions, development and redevelopment projects, leasing matters, and the many challenges that arise throughout the lifecycle of a real estate asset. Whether representing developers, property owners, landlords, tenants, or investors, the focus is on providing practical, business-minded counsel that helps clients move deals forward while effectively managing risk. From the earliest planning stages through closing and beyond, attorneys work closely with clients to identify opportunities, evaluate risks, and keep projects moving toward successful outcomes. Their experience on high-profile and complex transactions provides valuable perspective when addressing the issues that can determine whether a deal succeeds or stalls.

A key strength of the practice is its multidisciplinary approach. Real estate attorneys work closely with colleagues across construction, environmental, corporate, bankruptcy, employment, and litigation disciplines to provide holistic guidance on projects involving a wide range of property types and industry sectors. Supported by deep industry connections, clients benefit not only from technical legal guidance, but also from practical advice grounded in an extensive understanding of the real estate marketplace.
