For over 45 years, our attorneys have been helping landowners, developers, builders, investors, tenants, and lenders navigate the complexities of real estate and land use law. Whether our clients need one skilled real estate lawyer or a specially assembled team, we can meet their needs.

We assist our clients with all aspects of purchasing, selling, and financing both developed and undeveloped real estate. Particular areas of expertise include negotiations, title, permitting, due diligence, environmental compliance, ownership structures, 1031 exchanges, and water law. Our leasing expertise ranges from modest to multi-million dollar transactions for both landlords and tenants. We have decades of experience with leases in all commercial settings, including industrial parks, office buildings, shopping centers, warehouses, energy projects, and special use facilities.

We assist owners and developers of commercial and industrial projects, both large and small, to negotiate and document their architectural services agreements, construction contracts, and financing arrangements. We offer clients additional service in the area of administrative law, litigation, workouts, and bankruptcy.
