We know the industry and we know the players. We help to facilitate transactions while protecting our clients from the associated risks.

Overview

Our Real Estate Private Equity attorneys represent domestic and international clients in the structuring, formation, operation, and liquidation of private equity funds created for the purpose of acquiring real estate assets. We’ve served as counsel to real estate funds, real estate entrepreneurs and developers, blind pool real estate funds, real estate syndications, real estate development firms, real estate investment trusts, and state pension plan investors.

We are experienced legal counselors who provide timely and effective advice to clients regarding their concerns. Our lawyers are entrenched in the industry and can introduce our clients to equity partners, operating partners, and other valuable contacts and financial resources for growth opportunities. Our rich experience and knowledge of the legal and business environment in which real estate private equity funds operate allows us to identify and anticipate key issues, including those related to the organizational structure and economic terms of the fund offering and operations, investors’ investment issues, and methods to facilitate completion of the capital raising process. Our multi-disciplinary approach to real estate investment funds means that our clients benefit from the expertise of securities, real estate, tax, ERISA, and corporate lawyers with specific and extensive experience relevant to this industry.
