Real Estate Law

The attorneys at Bodker, Ramsey, Andrews, Winograd & Wildstein, P.C. serve the legal needs of a wide range of clients in real estate matters, including owners, investors, landlords and developers of office buildings, apartment buildings, shopping centers, commercial and single family developments. Our real estate attorneys handle acquisition, development, financing and leasing of property with careful consideration of the tax implications of each transaction. Our real estate attorneys also provide assistance to attorneys in other practice areas of the firm as their needs in financial transactions or litigation may require.

From the acquisition of raw land to the completion of the project, we serve the client through the organizational, tax structuring, building and regulatory approval processes. We conduct due diligence, prepare restrictive covenants, reciprocal easements, ground leases, property management agreements, construction documents and other development agreements required for the project. We review zoning regulations and ordinances, environmental matters, obtain title searches, negotiate title insurance commitments, obtain surveys, negotiate transfer documents and conduct closings. We obtain and negotiate financing commitments and close loans of many types. We have handled the disposition of various properties, including warehouses, offices, retail, residential, apartments, condominiums, and specialty properties like multiple-state restaurants as well as sales and leasebacks of commercial properties. Our creditors' rights colleagues assist us with respect to materialmens' and mechanics' lien issues. We also form acquisition entities and related ownership agreements.

We prepare and negotiate term sheets, sale agreements and closing documentation. Our broad based expertise in real estate and finance transactions and background in tax and other related areas gives us a significant advantage in representing our clients through the life of a project. We provide creative tax planning and can handle like-kind, tax-deferred exchange transactions. The firm is also an authorized agent for First American Title Insurance Company.
