FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LAW
What does a commercial real estate attorney do?
A commercial real estate attorney handles the legal aspects of buying, selling, leasing, and developing commercial properties. We review contracts, negotiate terms, secure permits, and help avoid costly mistakes.
What’s the difference between a residential and commercial lease?
Commercial leases are more complex and less regulated than residential ones. They require careful negotiation of terms like rent escalations, maintenance responsibilities, renewal clauses, and use restrictions.
Can you help with land use and zoning approvals?
Yes. We represent clients before planning and zoning boards, prepare applications, and work with townships to secure approvals for development, variances, and site plans.
Do I need a lawyer for a commercial lease agreement?
We believe you should. Lease agreements are legally binding contracts. An attorney can help protect your rights, negotiate favorable terms, and prevent hidden liabilities.
What should I know before starting a commercial development project?
You’ll need to consider zoning, permitting, environmental issues, financing, and construction contracts. We help you address these challenges proactively and manage legal risk throughout the project.
