About

Provided by Crowe & Dunlevy, a Professional Corporation

Crowe & Dunlevy has a sophisticated real estate practice representing regional, national and international clients in all areas of real estate, including acquisitions, sales, project development, leasing and financing. Our experience extends to title matters, zoning and governmental issues, construction processes, environmental concerns and tax and organizational planning, including tax credit transactions. We also have extensive experience in lease negotiations through the representation of retail property owners and institutional lenders.

One of the firm’s true strengths in real estate practice is our ability to render meaningful and significant business advice, coupled with counsel on the myriad of legal issues which typically arise. Our attorneys serve not only as strong advocates, but also as skilled negotiators in bringing complex transactional relationships to the point of closure, and in insuring consistent and practical advice for ongoing client real estate needs such as leasing and environmental monitoring.

The firm’s real estate practitioners, with the assistance of attorneys in cross-disciplinary areas of support such as taxation, business planning and environmental law, strive to provide broad based, cost-effective representation to our clients who require diverse legal and business guidance from a common source.
