The practice of commercial real estate law involves many layers, such as addressing environmental concerns, title issues, tenancy matters, corporate ownership and financing. It is frequently far more complex than a simple residential real estate transaction. It is a true team effort, involving real estate brokers, environmental consultants, title insurers, contractors and lenders. The Nissenbaum Law Group coordinates these competing aspects and seeks to simplify the complicated legal issues inherent in the conveyance of commercial real estate.

There are certain legal issues that are unique to commercial real estate. The firm is well-suited to address them. They include:

  • Creating an entity to own the real estate, including corporation, limited liability company, partnership, non-profit corporation and joint venture
  • Addressing title and ownership issues
  • Drafting and negotiating sale agreements and closing documents, including deeds, promissory notes, security agreements, mortgages and other pre-closing documentation
  • Drafting and negotiating commercial leases
  • Structuring real estate sale and lease-back transactions
  • Recording UCC financing statements and mortgages
  • Addressing pre-closing environmental issues such as those under the Industrial Site Recovery Act
  • Filing lawsuits for money damages or injunctive relief if the real estate matter becomes contested
  • Foreclosure matters
  • Condemnation and eminent domain actions
  • Effectuating 1031 Like-Kind Exchanges
  • Appearing before municipal zoning and planning boards
  • Structuring new developments, including commercial, residential and mixed-use cooperatives and condominiums
  • Litigating commercial landlord-tenant disputes
