Real Estate

Representing both private and public sector interests, our lawyers work with developers, owners and managers, contractors, consortiums, leading financial institutions, investment dealers and intermediaries, governments, government agencies and crown corporations. We collaborate with administrative lawyers to add value to land development and re-developments. Beyond the legalities, our lawyers understand the economics and practicalities of the financing, ownership and management components of real estate development. 

We are routinely involved in acquisitions, sales and financings of large office buildings, shopping centres, industrial parks and portfolios of properties and mortgages. We handle land purchases and sales, construction, financing, leasing, zoning and tenant negotiations. Our lawyers are also regularly involved in bond financings, project financings, synthetic lease-based financings, public/private partnerships, privatizations, real estate syndications and securitizations, real estate investment trusts, loan syndications, co-tenancy agreements, general partnership and limited partnership agreements, as well as structuring transactions involving complex tax, corporate law, withholding and income tax components.
