Our attorneys can guide commercial real estate clients through purchases or sales of business properties, commercial property financing and workouts, or development and construction of industrial, retail or office projects.

Experienced Real Property Lawyers Serving Clients Statewide in Ohio

Our clients include real estate investment trusts, commercial brokers, property management companies, developers, owners of developed or unimproved property, construction companies, commercial lessors and mortgage lenders.

We also work with banks and other lenders in possession of commercial OREO properties.

Examples of the kinds of transactions we handle include:

  • Purchase or sale of downtown Cleveland office buildings
  • Land acquisition and development of regional shopping centers
  • Construction and leasing of local shopping malls
  • Industrial property development
  • Commercial leasing in office, retail or industrial properties
  • Construction financing, bridge financing and mortgage financing in major projects
  • Real estate transfers related to business purchase, sale or merger transactions

Precisely what you need.

The qualities that make a good partnership feel like the right partnerships are sometimes hard to get your arms around. When you're working with a law firm that's made up of professionals who truly work well together on their clients' behalf, that intangible feeling of satisfaction becomes easier to understand. There's a certain sense of balance between efficiency and expertise that can only be delivered by a firm that is comfortable with who they are and what they are working toward. We think it's this time-honored approach that leads to the value of good counsel.
