About

Provided by Godfrey & Kahn, SC

Godfrey & Kahn's Real Estate Practice Group is in the center of real estate activity in Wisconsin. Our clients include businesses, financial institutions, developers, contractors, construction managers, brokers and others who need legal experience with real estate matters.

A review of the team's specific real estate services demonstrates broad experience, particularly in the areas of acquisition, sale, leasing, finance and development of real estate. In addition, because real estate investments involve many other legal disciplines, the real estate team works closely with related practice groups within the firm to ensure that our clients receive integrated service in an efficient manner.

Within the state of Wisconsin, the real estate team is uniquely situated to deal with the inherently local nature of real estate transactions. Our attorneys work closely with governmental agencies, contractors and developers throughout Wisconsin.

However, our experience is not limited to the confines of Wisconsin's borders. Because our clients have real estate holdings throughout the country, our attorneys understand the challenge of working within various jurisdictions and also appreciate the value of working collaboratively with real estate professionals in other states to provide efficient client service.
