Real Estate Law
Within our real estate department we assist our clients with both residential and commercial transactions. What sets us apart from other firms in real estate transactions is our extensive use of technology. We will provide you with access to our client portal which will allow you to log in, view and download your documents, track the progress made on your file and communicate with us directly from the portal with respect to your transaction. Our software will also keep you apprised of the progress made on your file every step of the way by sending you frequent and fairly detailed standard correspondences as we move along through the closing process together. Our corporate and litigation practices also complement our transaction real estate practice. While we will do all within our power to ensure that your transaction closes, our litigation knowledge places us in a position to promptly notify you of any issues that may increase the chances of future litigation.
