A Comprehensive Approach to Real Estate Law

No two real estate transactions are the same. When entering into a real estate transaction, you need an attorney who is knowledgeable about both the law and the practical considerations facing purchasers, sellers, developers, financial institutions, landlords, tenants and other parties to real estate transactions in the commercial, industrial and residential realms. Common areas of our involvement include:

  • Acquisition
  • Design and construction
  • Development
  • Development incentives (for example, Tax Increment Financing, Neighborhood Improvement Districts, Transportation Development Districts)
  • Environmental issues
  • Negotiation, drafting and execution of contracts
  • Partnership/Entity creation
  • Retail, office and industrial leases
  • Tax free (1031) exchanges
  • Title work and closings
  • Zoning and land use regulation

We have several attorneys who focus primarily on real estate law and who bring diverse backgrounds and experiences to our firm, allowing us to view transactions and regulatory matters from many angles. We also handle a significant volume of real estate litigation.

Creative Solutions to Financing and Tax Matters

Financial and tax considerations are major factors in any real estate transaction. At Herzog Crebs, we are highly experienced at working out both traditional and alternative financing arrangements for acquisition and development of real estate. We are also knowledgeable about development incentives, such as tax credits, that are available from federal, state and local sources.

The formation of real estate and development business entities such as joint ventures, limited liability partnerships (LLPs), limited liability companies (LLCs), real estate investment trusts and other entities can be of major assistance with financing and tax planning.
