Real Estate

The Firm advises clients on the full array of complex issues throughout the real estate industry. We represent a wide variety of clients, including developers, lenders, investors, major corporations, high-net-worth individuals and family offices. We provide the legal precision needed to navigate and deliver strategic guidance across a broad spectrum of transactions, including:

  • Construction and Development: Our team has rich experience in construction, infrastructure and development projects of all sizes and types, including high-profile retail, industrial as well as hotel and resort properties. We help clients navigate the legal and regulatory issues that are involved in the development, financing and construction of facilities, including on foreign investment guidelines.
  • Leasing: Given the strength of our real estate practice, our team represents clients throughout the full cycle of a real estate transaction and takes a holistic approach to real estate matters. The team has years of experience navigating landlord and tenant relationships, negotiating office, retail, and other commercial and residential leases as well as the renewal, extension, modification, and disposition of leases. Our support involves conducting comprehensive due diligence of the transaction, and offering end-to-end assistance in drafting and execution of the transaction documents.
  • Sales and Acquisition: Traditional real estate purchase and sale transactions are a vital part of the Firm’s real estate practice. As we have represented both sides of the table, we serve as a resource for both, buyers as well as sellers. Our legal support commences right from the inception of the transaction, i.e., undertaking a legal due diligence on a property, highlighting potential risks and drafting and negotiating transaction documents for our clients.
  • Joint Ventures: The team regularly advises on complex real estate joint venture and strategic alliance transactions, delivering superior judgment, precise merit, and creative solutions to each transaction entrusted to us. These transactions range from contractual collaborations and strategic alliances to formal joint ventures. The team has also helped clients exit and terminate their joint venture arrangements on the most favorable terms.
