Our attorneys often assist business clients in negotiating arrangements for expansions, relocations and initial installations. Such services include reviewing and negotiating leases of existing or build-to-suit facilities for retail, office and industrial space. For clients who will own their facilities, our attorneys have reviewed and negotiated acquisition, architectural, construction and management contracts and, at times, contracts for the sale of outgrown and obsolete facilities. Because of our extensive experience in real estate, we are able to expertly assist our clients in accomplishing their goals, while minimizing the risks involved. The firm's business clients also rely on our attorneys to assist with easements, tax valuation disputes, tax abatement incentives, sale-leasebacks, leasing out excess space, and other real estate matters.
