Fox Rothschild LLP

Our experience enables us to quickly discern the key legal issues in a transaction. We understand how difficult it is for developers to find deals that work economically in this state’s competitive marketplace. Lawyers must drive the momentum of a deal and do everything necessary to diligently negotiate and document agreements as quickly as possible to eliminate extraneous variables that can interfere with a closing. Our Real Estate team believes that in every transaction, there may be 20 to 25 issues truly worth negotiating. Typically, the businessperson believes only five to 10 issues are necessary to negotiate. A good lawyer knows how to focus discussion on additional issues without slowing the momentum of the deal.
