Complex Real Estate Transactions

Real estate counsel for transactions with more moving parts than the property itself.

Representation for owners, investors and developers in sophisticated commercial and investment real estate transactions.

Real estate becomes complex when the property is only one part of the transaction.

Development, financing, title, access, operating restrictions and future use can matter as much as price.

Van Williamson represents owners, investors and developers in sophisticated commercial and investment real estate transactions, including matters in which real estate intersects with business ownership, financing or development strategy.

The emphasis is on identifying issues that can materially affect value, use, closing or exit — and resolving them in the transaction documents before they become operational problems.

Representative scope

  • Commercial acquisitions and dispositions
  • Purchase and sale agreements
  • Ground leases and commercial leasing
  • Development-related transactions
  • Real estate financing and owner financing
  • Easements, access and shared-use arrangements
  • Title and due diligence matters
  • Joint ventures and ownership structures

A good real estate document does more than describe the property. It allocates the risks that determine whether the property can perform as intended.
