Real Estate Law and Transactions

Whether brick and mortar or e-commerce, Real Estate is fundamental to virtually every business. Companies need space — offices, factories, warehouses, data centers, stores and shops — to conduct business. In addition, there are many businesses whose operations consist of buying, selling, leasing, developing, and brokering real estate transactions. Since real estate is an integral part of doing business, proper knowledge of real estate law is essential.

The Offit Kurman Real Estate Group is a full-service real estate practice with attorneys in offices from New York to the Carolinas. Our lawyers are actively involved in assisting developers in acquiring land, building, leasing and financing projects.  We represent numerous businesses as well as associations and non-profits on their leases – from reviewing the LOI, to negotiating their leases and assisting with work agreements.  We are well recognized in the hospitality sector – including acquisitions, sales, financing and management of hotel projects throughout the east coast.  We are outside counsel to national home builders assisting them with land acquisition, title issues, financing and construction contracts.  Our lawyers are also heavily involved in representing general contractors and subcontractors in the construction of new projects and the renovation of existing projects.
