Almost every business or individual has real estate issues whether it is a lease for space, purchase of land or a building, construction or perhaps financing.
The Tucker Arensberg Real Estate Group represents clients in negotiating, documenting, financing and closing real property transactions ranging from large commercial properties to individual residential dwellings. The group also deals with the legal aspects of development, land use, construction, leasing, easements and environmental issues affecting real estate on behalf of real estate owners and developers. Our attorneys have a broad range of real estate experience representing individuals, large and small businesses, developers, lenders, municipalities, school districts and other governmental bodies.
Our attorneys assist you with the entire process including:
- Conducting initial discussions concerning proposed transactions
- Negotiating between sellers and purchasers, landlords and tenants and lenders and borrowers with respect to pricing, debt and equity structures, choice of legal entities, environmental issues, and conditions of transfer
- Assisting clients with obtaining their stated real estate goals while mitigating and allocating associated risks.
Within the general area of real estate financing, members of the group advise clients in the formulation of financing terms for transactions involving one lender or complex loan participation arrangements with several lenders, as well as financings that involve public agencies, taxable or tax-exempt bond financing and other non-traditional lending arrangements. This work includes the preparation and review of all required documentation.
We are also prepared to advise clients on the securities aspects of real estate investments, income tax implications, and the structuring of transactions to maximize tax-related benefits or to minimize negative tax consequences.
