Commercial Real Estate Law Info Blog
Commercial Real Estate Law [MUSIC PLAYING] Commercial real estate law is something of a team effort. It's important that you have a law firm that can coordinate the various aspects we're dealing with-- architects, inspectors, banks in terms of financing, and actually, could involve tenants as well. This might be property that's rental property. And a whole host of other things. Not to mention the fact that there could be planning issues, land use issues, where it's important that variances be obtained and things of that nature, permits, and so forth. If we look at it as a legal matter in isolation, where none of those business exigencies matter, we're not doing what we should. If we look at it as a team effort, if we look at it as the lawyer's role is to try to coordinate all those things and work with all those professionals to get to the end game, which is a sale of the property-- whether you're representing the buyer or the seller, you still want that property sale to go forward-- then the result is generally better. The Nissenbaum Law Group is uniquely situated to serve clients and commercial real estate and environmental law, precisely because this is what we do. We're a commercial law firm. These are the exact types of transactions that we focus on. That gives us a unique ability to understand the transaction, understand the business exigencies behind the transactions, and be able to anticipate where problems may arise, obstacles that may be presented before a deal can close. It also enables us to be able to ask the questions that the clients themselves may not even be thinking of yet. Part of the lawyer's job is to advise the client to the extent reasonable of the risks involved. And they are always risks, and some of those risks will be hidden, some of them will be able to be deciphered. Some of them won't. But overall, to work with the client to achieve the result of closing that transaction, if the deal is such that it really should close and not be renegotiated.
