About

Provided by Thompson Coburn LLP

Thompson Coburn’s real estate attorneys are more than legal advisors — we are trusted partners, dealmakers, and problem-solvers who deliver industry-focused solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs. With a national presence, we help clients navigate and capitalize on the dynamic commercial real estate market, addressing pent-up demand and seizing new opportunities.

We guide clients through the entire lifecycle of real estate transactions, from strategy and negotiation to execution and beyond. Our experience spans coast to coast, enabling us to handle transactions of all sizes and complexities. Our diverse client roster includes real estate lenders and capital equity market providers, and Fortune 500 companies, as well as a variety of institutional business clients. In the retail sector, our clients have included national fast food restaurant chains, a national discount grocery, a major big-box retailer, retail developers, lenders, and investors.

We tackle the issues common to every transaction — land use regulations, environmental concerns, tax implications and financing — as well as more specific issues, such as state and federal economic incentives and green building considerations. We handle real estate and construction litigation, commercial acquisition and sale, commercial leasing, real estate financing and capital markets services and affordable housing related matters.
