Real Estate Transactions

Our dedicated transaction team will help you succeed in closing the deal in a real estate acquisition or disposal. To reach that point successfully, the tax and legal structure need to be perfect, including the transaction financing.

The value of real estate is determined by a broad scope of laws, from landlord-tenant laws to zoning and environmental laws. Our integrated formula has proved to be successful in addressing all areas. This is reflected in our impressive client portfolio and continues Tier 1 rankings in various independent legal guides.
