With nine real estate practitioners in our office, one of our hallmarks is our ability to seamlessly collaborate together in an effort to offer solutions to our clients’ real estate demands. Productive, strategic thinking is most often a group effort. Within our offices, it is commonplace for our attorneys to be working collectively in order to optimize our clients’ results. Collaborative efforts are not limited by individual practice group. We understand that each aspect of a real estate project cannot be analyzed in a vacuum. Given our multidisciplinary real estate practice, we continually provide meaningful advice to our clients on how decisions in one aspect of their project will impact the others. One of the trademarks we take pride in is the connections we develop with our clients. While the matters we handle can be complex and intense, our boutique setting allows us to form relationships with our clients that go beyond that of basic attorney-client.
