Real Estate/Commercial Transactions
New York and New Jersey Attorneys
Expert legal guidance in commercial real estate requires knowledge of business structures and other areas of commercial law including taxation and insurance and environmental regulation. At Gorlick, Kravitz & Listhaus, P.C., our competence and experience in these areas allows us to guide our clients in many different commercial real estate matters.
Commercial Real Estate
Our attorneys offer legal advice, and negotiate and draft agreements on a wide variety of commercial real estate matters including:
- Leasing
- Financing
- Sales and acquisitions
- Landlord and tenant representation
The firm's real estate practitioners work hand in hand with our litigators providing them with the necessary substantive expertise when a real estate matter must be arbitrated or litigated. It is the firm's goal and has been the firm's experience that transactions entrusted to the firm rarely end up in court or before an arbitrator.
Commercial Transactions
