Do I need a lawyer for commercial real estate deals in New York?

Yes—commercial real estate transactions are significantly more complex than residential ones. A qualified attorney ensures that your contracts, leases, and financing documents are legally sound and protect your investment.

What’s the difference between a commercial and residential real estate transaction?

Commercial deals often involve higher dollar amounts, longer due diligence periods, and more detailed contracts or land use considerations. They can also include leasing, development rights, or environmental regulations—making legal representation essential.

Can you review or negotiate a commercial lease for me?

Absolutely. We draft, review, and negotiate leases to ensure your interests are protected. Whether you're a landlord or tenant, we help clarify terms around rent, maintenance, renewals, subleasing, and more.

Can you help with due diligence before purchasing a commercial property?

Definitely. We assist with title searches, lease audits (if applicable), and any legal risks that could affect your investment. We’ll make sure you go into the deal fully informed.

Do you represent developers and builders?

Yes. We work with commercial developers and builders on everything from land acquisition and permitting to financing and final approvals. Our legal support spans the entire development process.

What happens if a dispute arises during the transaction?

We handle commercial real estate disputes promptly and professionally. Whether it’s a breach of contract, title issue, or a delay in closing, we work to resolve the issue while protecting your interests and keeping your project on track.

How are your legal fees structured for commercial clients?

We provide clear, upfront estimates and tailor our fee structure to match the complexity of your transaction. We believe in transparency and will always walk you through the costs before any work begins.
