Our firm is experienced in handling various commercial real estate transactions.

We guide you through a transaction from beginning to end, whether it is a commercial contract, lease, joint venture agreement or refinancing.

We can also help structure the terms of the contract so that the sale of the property may qualify for tax deferment under §1031 (Like-Kind Exchanges).
