Legal Issues Affecting Real Estate Development

Geoff serves as a trusted advisor to real estate developers throughout the entire lifecycle of a project. He works to ensure that they are prepared to address matters such as:

• Financing - A developer may need to obtain loans or secure financing from investors in order to purchase property or make improvements.
• Property acquisition - Geoff can provide legal help during a commercial real estate transaction to ensure that a developer will be able to begin a development project as soon as ownership of property has been transferred.
• Zoning and land use - Local laws and ordinances may affect the ways property may be used or the types of construction that may be performed. If necessary, Geoff can work with developers to obtain variances to these laws and ensure that a project can be completed as planned.
• Regulatory compliance - Environmental regulations and other laws may affect a construction project or planned improvements to a property, and Geoff can ensure that developers are meeting all of their legal requirements.
• Easements and covenants - Geoff can help developers understand whether any existing easements on a property will prevent them from performing certain types of construction or require them to allow access to utility companies, neighbors, or other parties. He can also help put restrictive covenants in place that will detail how a property may be used in the future.
• Construction - Geoff can work with developers to establish construction contracts that will protect their rights and ensure that work is performed correctly.
  
• Leasing - With his understanding of commercial leases and his experience addressing landlord/tenant disputes, Geoff can ensure that a property owner will be able to negotiate leases that will protect their rights and allow them to generate income from a property.
