  In the course of representing the buyer or seller in the completion of individual or corporate land sales, our lawyers draft purchase agreements, deeds, lead-based paint disclosures, property disclosures, and any other real estate document necessary for the completion of the transaction. We act as our client’s agent during real estate negotiations and attend the closing to ensure it goes smoothly.

  We also assist individuals and businesses with the complexities of commercial and residential leasing, by reviewing proposed leases to see that our clients’ interests are protected, or drafting leases to ensure our clients’ goals are met. In addition to overseeing the documentation we assist clients in every step of the lease formation process by attending conferences with our clients and other lessors, lessees, or their attorneys.
