Real Estate

The Real Estate Group combines a national practice, talented individuals and breadth of expertise to offer a comprehensive, creative and business-oriented approach to legal services.  With a particular emphasis on the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California, the attorneys in our Real Estate Group are fully equipped to handle every aspect of any real estate or development transaction: purchase and sale; leasing; financing; land use and entitlement; entity formation; construction; and property management.  The Real Estate Group represents a full range of clients active in the real estate industry, including developers, public REITs, investors, lenders, vintners, hoteliers and asset managers.  In addition, our attorneys have represented clients in connection with virtually all property types, including office buildings and parks, apartment projects, shopping complexes, hotels and resorts, senior living/elder-care facilities, wineries, industrial buildings, vineyards, agricultural land and mixed-use projects.

Our essential strength lies in the judgment, focus and insight of each member of the Group.  In working with clients, we do far more than negotiate and craft legal documents.  We add value by understanding each client’s business and the issues that are important to them.  With that understanding, we clarify goals, identify needs and streamline the legal aspects of the transaction.
