Real Estate Development

Real estate developers rely on our team as trusted advisors to guide them through the full lifecycle of development, from preliminary entitlement and environmental due diligence, to acquiring property and securing construction financing, to managing post-development matters, such as leasing, refinancing and disposition. Whether a project requires strong local connections, expertise in finance and tax credits issues, or experienced litigators, we help developers protect investments and mitigate risk to achieve their business goals.
