Guiding Clients from Planning to Permits to Completion

Our Cumming real estate lawyers regularly handle all aspects of commercial transactions, including:

  • Purchases and leases: Before you buy a property or sign a lease, due diligence is typically necessary. Further, drafting and review of the purchase contract or lease is best handled by an experienced attorney.
  • Navigating bureaucracies and administrative hearings: The foundation of a real estate development isn’t concrete — it’s paperwork. Whether you are set for a land-use hearing; appealing an adverse administrative decision through the agency or a court; or seeking, preserving, or extending entitlements, having a lawyer adept at battling bureaucracy will help keep your project on track. Other potential derailments include zoning determinations, special exceptions, appeals, violations, variances, permitting and bonding decisions, and condemnation or eminent domain.
  • Planning: For commercial, industrial, and residential properties, our attorneys can help in the planning stage. We guide clients with establishing residential subdivisions and mixed-use communities that utilize private land-use covenants or homeowner association (HOA) formation and can assist with granting easements (reciprocal, private, or public utility).

When issues arise, we resolve them quickly and decisively. And when opportunities arise, we protect your best interests.

Our Fierce Litigators Understand What’s at Stake

If you’re dealing with commercial or residential lease or sublease issues, you need an attorney you can rely on when a strong approach is needed in:

  • Contract breaches: Whether the matter at hand is a purchase or sale agreement, a lease, or some other contract, the advice of a lawyer is invaluable when determining your remedy. Is it possible to force the deal to go through? Or can you strike a new deal and hold the breaching party responsible for any losses?
  • Title disputes: A cloud on the title to your property can jeopardize financing, development, or sale. We’re adept at establishing chains of title and clearing up competing claims.
  • Loan defaults: If you are a lender or borrower, real estate workouts (a renegotiation of the deal that typically waives the default and restructures terms) when a loan is in default can be challenging, especially if your business is at stake.

Understanding real estate transactions in all their aspects, from the points of view of diverse stakeholders, enables our attorneys to present creative yet practical remedies that protect our clients’ interests while advancing the cause of the underlying project.
