Our real estate attorneys provide innovative and effective solutions to the full range of real estate issues facing our clients. We understand and respond to our clients' need to receive prompt, cost-effective, practical advice. We service not only the development community, but also handle the corporate facilities and other real estate needs of our entrepreneurial business clients. Growing beyond our Orange County roots, the firm's real estate practice has expanded to include transactions throughout the United States, providing service in five areas: traditional real estate transactions, corporate real estate, finance, environmental, and public agency and redevelopment.
Traditional Real Estate Transactions
Our traditional real estate practice involves the representation of retail, industrial, office and residential developers, landlords and tenants in all aspects of real property acquisition, financing, development, construction, leasing, management, syndication, exchange and disposition, together with entity formation. The firm has developed specialized expertise in matters related to shopping center and other retail development, including site acquisition, regulatory approvals, joint ventures, finance, leasing, operations and tenant disputes. We also have specialized expertise in transactions involving municipal bond-financed multi-family projects, as well as medical office, assisted living and other healthcare related projects.
Corporate Real Estate
We understand the importance of meeting the demanding and time-sensitive real estate needs of rapidly growing companies. Our attorneys assist these companies with their real estate law needs, providing legal oversight in such matters as leasing, property acquisition, financings, letters of credit, partnerships, limited liability companies, public offerings, and mergers and acquisitions. Through close interaction with our corporate attorneys, we are uniquely qualified to identify and manage the real estate needs of companies throughout their life cycle, from start-up to public company.
Finance
We represent both lenders and borrowers in all aspects of secured lending, including construction and permanent financing, securitized debt, workouts, foreclosures, receiverships and loan documentation.
Environmental
We are actively involved in environmental compliance, litigation and risk management, including issues arising in real property transfers, business acquisitions, facility operations and land development. We assist our clients in complex issues relating to environmental impact assessment and reporting, air quality, water quality and conservation, hazardous waste management and hazardous substance remediation.
Our real estate and environmental attorneys routinely work with the firm's litigation department to handle matters involving federal and state environmental laws, insurance coverage disputes, prosecution and defense of environmental clean-up suits and related matters. They also work with the firm's corporate, securities, litigation, tax and public law practices to facilitate the exchange of ideas and strategies so that we may better serve our clients' environmental law needs.
Public Agency and Redevelopment
The firm represents municipalities, redevelopment agencies and other public entities, as well as clients with matters pending before these government entities. This complete perspective provides our clients with unmatched representation in land use, entitlement, redevelopment and municipal law issues..
