Our work includes major acquisitions and sales. Our experience with regulatory processes, both in government and in private practice, is fundamental to services we provide.

In the evolving fields of commercial real estate and financing, our attorneys handle multifaceted transactions ranging from basic to complex real estate, corporate and public finance, environmental law, litigation and eminent domain. Our long-standing relationships with government and the real estate community in New York and nationally enable us to proceed efficiently on behalf of our clients.
