Avoiding Legal Pitfalls in Commercial Real Estate
The most expensive problems are often the ones you don’t see coming. Our attorneys take a proactive approach to identifying and managing legal risks that could derail your investment. By recognizing common trouble areas early, we help you protect your time, capital, and reputation.
Here are several legal challenges we help clients avoid or address:
- Zoning limitations: Properties must comply with local zoning laws—nonconformity can halt development plans.
- Hidden environmental liability: Sites may carry costly cleanup obligations under state or federal law.
- Problematic lease terms: “Gotcha” clauses in commercial leases can expose you to unexpected costs.
- Unrecorded easements or encumbrances: These can affect property use or interfere with resale.
- Ambiguous contract language: Lack of precision leads to disputes and enforcement issues.
- Undisclosed building violations: Unresolved violations can delay permits, financing, or closings.
We don’t just respond to problems—we help you prevent them. Clear advice and early action are how we help clients move forward with confidence.
