Full-Spectrum Real Estate Experience
Saul Ewing's Real Estate Department is dedicated to providing advice and representation for the diverse issues that arise during real estate transactions. With attorneys throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, we handle zoning, development, redevelopment, financing, selling and/or leasing matters, and coordinate from the earliest stage of development through the disposition of the finished project, a transformation that requires full land-use and transactional capacity.
Solutions: Experience in a Wide Range of Situations
Our attorneys offer diverse real estate experience. We have appeared before hundreds of zoning and planning authorities, and have helped developers, buyers, sellers, operators, tenants, and lenders negotiate projects with sophisticated structures and delicate environmental considerations. To help keep projects moving forward, we have helped lenders and debtors work out settlements and have handled construction disputes. We have written and proposed ordinances tailored to meet the creative nuances of complex multi-or mixed-use development projects. We have coordinated multi-state transactions for the disposition or acquisition of multiple properties in a single transaction.
Industry Knowledge: A Rapidly Changing Regulatory Environment
Saul Ewing's Real Estate attorneys stay at the leading edge of regulatory issues by participating in a wide range of industry activities. For example, the Real Estate Department includes attorneys who have served on planning commissions, zoning boards and regional planning authorities. In addition, our Real Estate attorneys often share their experience in lectures and articles about important legal issues and changes in the law that might affect the larger business community. We also publish updates regarding changes in real estate law to keep our clients informed of recent court and administrative decisions.
