A one-stop-shop for commercial real estate counsel, we provide clients with practical and innovative solutions to real estate needs.
HSE’s Real Estate group is a seasoned team of attorneys who focus on understanding and achieving client objectives while working meticulously and creatively to get deals done. We represent a wide range of clients including public and private companies, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), landlords, tenants, developers, financial institutions, health care providers, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, municipalities and governmental authorities.
Recognizing that commercial real estate projects are often one component of a much larger transaction or project involving broader legal issues, our Real Estate attorneys work closely with HSE’s Environmental, Land Use and Zoning; Building and Construction; Business Restructuring; Litigation; Tax; Mergers and Acquisitions, and Corporate teams to ensure our client’s best interests are being addressed from every possible angle.
Recipient of the highest ranking by the worldwide leader in attorney and firm rankings, Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, HSE’s Real Estate group is recognized for its “Exceptional practice adept at assisting clients with a variety of real estate matters.” Our service and experience include the following:
For clients with lease portfolios, we develop systems synergistic with our client’s needs to track and respond to the daily requirements of managing retail and commercial lease portfolios. Clients benefit from having a cohesive team of professionals managing and tracking details for leases in a centralized location, and driving communication to designated contacts for each property as deadlines, issues and renewals need to be addressed.
Several of our attorneys are licensed title insurance agents and the firm is an authorized title insurance agent for national title insurance companies, making the group well equipped to handle all title issues that may arise during a real estate transaction.
We represent several commercial banks in commercial real estate loan transactions and, in addition, aid them in their own real estate leasing, acquisition and divestiture needs.
We represent national retailers and fast-food restaurants in real property acquisition and in zoning and land use matters, including approvals required under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA).
We represent health care facilities in various real estate matters, including acquisitions, divestitures, leasing transactions and financing.
We represent REITs on a variety of matters, including drafting and negotiating purchase and sale agreements, handling transfers of title, and other work associated with acquisitions and dispositions of properties throughout the United States.
