Acquisitions & Sales

Overview

Our attorneys represent real estate owners and developers in the purchase and sale of commercial real estate properties, including multi-family, office, retail, industrial and mixed-use properties. We prepare transactional documents including letters of intent, purchase and sale agreements, leases, brokerage agreements, and asset management agreements, as well as negotiate these documents with favorable terms for our clients.

We advise clients on zoning, permitting, environmental and title matters, while offering creative solutions to advance our clients’ respective goals. Our clients include private developers who acquire properties for redevelopment, along with professional real estate owners who buy and hold performing assets.

Our attorneys represent buyers and sellers of closely held businesses, including preparing a company for sale, properly structuring, and negotiating transactions. We add value by assisting the company with pre-due diligence matters, and evaluate whether a stock sale or asset sale or merger is appropriate considering tax, financial and liability impacts.

We also address issues surrounding earnouts, noncompetes, escrows, and transaction bonuses and deductions.
