Our Firm has long been recognized as having one of
the foremost real estate practices in California. We represent prominent
local, national and international companies in all areas of real property
acquisition, investment, leasing, development, title matters, construction
and financing.
The depth and diversification of our real estate practice is a major competitive advantage that allows us to provide our clients with the most complete spectrum of value-added services available.
Addressing the specific needs of our clients, our real estate practice
is structured around four interrelated areas of legal specialization:
Our real estate attorneys have expertise
in all phases of real property acquisition, development, construction
and investment. The breadth of our experience relates to nearly every
type of real estate imaginable, including office buildings, state-of-the-art
studio projects, industrial conversions, educational facilities,
health care facilities, shopping centers, mixed-use projects, hotels
and
resorts, single and multi-family residential developments and timber
and recreational land. We also counsel our clients on complex due
diligence matters relating to, among other areas, environmental issues,
title, surveys, appraisals and certain other
governmental restrictions and qualifications.
Our firm has established a formidable
reputation for developing and negotiating innovative leasing strategies
on behalf of both tenants and landlords in connection with commercial,
entertainment, new media, industrial and retail properties.
We represent lenders,
borrowers, developers
and investors in matters relating to real estate loan origination
and financing, loan restructuring, assignments, portfolio management,
portfolio (and other) loan sales and loan servicing. We also provide
advice regarding the structure of financing transactions for all
types of
real estate,
including
those involving traditional debt, limited partnerships and joint
ventures and hybrid debt-equity structures.
We handle all manner of title issues, including
analysis and resolution of title matters and title disputes.
Our litigation attorneys represent the Firm’s
clients in matters involving, among other things, leases, partnerships,
property purchases and sales, common area maintenance charges,
brokers
and agents, construction, receiverships, workouts and bankruptcy,
unlawful detainer, eminent domain, land use and subdivision approvals
and appeals, insurance and environmental restrictions.
Our commitment to the Firm’s clients extends far
beyond the four corners of our real estate practice. As leaders in the
real estate industry, our attorneys have authored significant texts
that have become legal standards, including, The Purchase and Sale of
California Real Estate and The Rutter Group’s California Practice
Guide: Real Property Transactions. They are also frequently called upon
to serve as expert witnesses and lecturers throughout the nation.
