Our Services
Bringing experience, knowledge, and integrity to every client we serve.
Residential Purchase & Sale
Buying or selling residential property can feel daunting, but you can depend on us to handle your legal needs on this matter. While every transaction has its own nuances, the core steps are generally consistent. We systematically handle the core steps so we are in the best position when something unexpected arises. Every deal from start to finish is conducted with legal skill, personal care, and communication while keeping your unique needs top of mind.
Commercial Leasing
We guide you through the process with clarity and precision whether you are leasing or subleasing an office or retail space. Our goal is to secure terms that align with your business needs today while protecting you as your business grows.
New Development
We understand that a sponsor in new development wears many hats—developer, owner, investor, designer, and compliance manager—and those responsibilities evolve from pre-development through construction and ultimately to sell-out and transfer of ownership. A sponsor can depend on us to provide the legal framework necessary to keep the project on track and to ensure AG approvals are obtained and risks are managed at every phase.
Co-op Representation
Small and self-managed co-op boards often juggle full lives while also running the corporation that is their shared home. A co-op attorney can ease that burden by maintaining corporate records, coordinating share transfers—including sales, estate planning, and occupancy changes—and drafting or updating governing documents to clearly define the best building rules for your specific co-op.
Lender Representation
Banks operate within a highly regulated environment where precision and compliance are critical. We serve as trusted counsel throughout the entire loan process. We are skilled at reviewing title reports and closing conditions, clearing mortgage schedules, CEMAs, payoffs, and subordinations. Our goal is for deals to move efficiently from commitment to closing with no post-closing problems for the bank or the borrower.
