About

Provided by Harter Secrest & Emery LLP

HSE’s Real Estate group is a seasoned team of attorneys who focus on understanding and achieving client objectives while working meticulously and creatively to get deals done. We represent a wide range of clients including public and private companies, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), landlords, tenants, developers, financial institutions, health care providers, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, municipalities and governmental authorities.

Recognizing that commercial real estate projects are often one component of a much larger transaction or project involving broader legal issues, our Real Estate attorneys work closely with HSE’s Environmental, Land Use and Zoning; Building and Construction; Business Restructuring; Litigation; Tax; Mergers and Acquisitions, and Corporate teams to ensure our client’s best interests are being addressed from every possible angle.

Our service and experience include the following:

  • ​Real Estate Transactions
  • Commercial Leasing
  • Lender Representation

Several of our attorneys are licensed title insurance agents and the firm is an authorized title insurance agent for national title insurance companies, making the group well equipped to handle all title issues that may arise during a real estate transaction.
