How do you turn a real estate opportunity into a successful closing?
Our dedicated Real Estate team guides clients through the complexities of commercial real estate transactions and development, solving the problems that threaten to slow them down and helping them to make practical decisions at every stage. Our work spans acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, zoning, financing and development across Oklahoma and Texas. Because our lawyers are so deeply experienced in the broader business and legal issues that surround a transaction, we are equipped to address a client’s immediate needs while keeping their larger objectives in view. We bring together the right team for each matter, working efficiently, responding quickly and keeping the deal moving forward.
From groundbreaking to closing, we drive the deal
We handle the core phases of any commercial real estate transaction and can support clients from the first issue through closing and beyond. Our lawyers draft and review documents, provide state-specific guidance and help structure transactions to reduce risk and avoid disputes whenever possible. We regularly handle a broad range of transactions in the commercial real estate space including:
- Purchases, sales and other dispositions of commercial property
- Commercial leasing, including leases for shopping center owners with national and regional retailers
- Real estate financing and real estate-secured loans for lenders and borrowers
- Development matters, zoning, land use, title issues and governmental approvals
- Construction-related issues, environmental concerns and tax credit transactions
- Transaction structuring, document review and legal opinions
Real estate counsel for every stakeholder at the table
Our clients include businesses whose primary focus is real estate, as well as companies that own or use properties in support of their operations. We understand that each client approaches a transaction from a different business perspective, so we tailor our advice to the property, the deal and the outcome the client is working to achieve. Our clients include:
- Developers, owners and investors in retail, office, multifamily and industrial properties
- Owner-users, including manufacturers and other companies acquiring property for their operations
- Institutional lenders and borrowers involved in real estate-secured financing
- Shopping center owners negotiating leases with national and regional retailers
- Railroads and other companies managing real estate, development and construction needs
Local knowledge that clears the way to closing
We also frequently serve as local counsel to national and out-of-state law firms, investors and lenders involved in transactions in Oklahoma and Texas. We handle transactions in Texas with the same frequency and comfort as Oklahoma, giving clients a single team that understands the legal landscape in both states. When deadlines are tight, we can put experienced lawyers to work quickly and coordinate smoothly with lead counsel and the client’s broader deal team.
Looking beyond the horizon to move your deal forward
Problem solving is central to our practice. We help clients address complicated questions involving contracts, titles, zoning, land use, financing and governmental requirements, including novel issues affecting data centers, alternative energy projects and large industrial developments. We also structure transactions with dispute prevention in mind and, when a conflict does arise, work closely with our litigation colleagues who have extensive experience in real estate-related matters.
