Real Estate Development

The role of the real estate construction lawyer is of one that deals with the evaluation of property acquisitions, structuring and leveraging investments, banking, and financing opportunities. When dealing with small to medium sized developments, legal counsel plays a vital role in the production of a profitable, effective, and successful endeavor to their client.

Below is a list of areas that are considered to be inclusive of a real estate development lawyers practice group:

• Acquisition and development
• Finance, leasing and investments
• Entity formation and tax structuring
• Site evaluation and land use planning
• Environmental risk and zoning

There could be other significant legal matters from other areas of practice which may coincide or pertain to those of the development practice group. For instance, complex mergers and acquisitions or securities related transactions, business, corporate, and environmental law issues, and possibly civil litigation, would require the engagement of the development practice group.

When there are disputes over land, construction, administration, or services with owners, architects or contractors that do not resolve with an equitable solution, then the construction law lawyer will perform due diligence on behalf of the litigation group to aggressively pursue civil remedies. The commercial and residential real estate market is in a constant state of flux with complex economic issues, matters of regulatory compliance, and bristling with cunning and aggressive competition. This market requires the experience of an astute construction law firm that is tenured in this area of law.
