Highlights included representation of:
• The Hampshire
Companies in the sale of
a 22-property portfolio
on the East Coast to
United Hampshire US
REIT, a newly formed Singapore-based REIT.
The portfolio consisted

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. Partner Robert Klausner believes
that in every transaction, there may be 20 to 25 issues truly worth negotiating. Typically, the business person believes only 5 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.
“Lawyers must drive the momentum
of a deal and do everything necessary to dilig ently neg otiate and document ag reements as q uickly as p ossible to eliminate extraneous variables that can interfere with a closing .”
