Real Estate
Commercial and mixed-use real estate — acquisition, financing, development, leasing, and dispute support.
Real estate counsel at Green & Sklarz is transactional and dispute-ready. Owners, developers, and tenants come to us for the full life cycle of commercial and mixed-use property — acquisition, financing, entity structuring, land use and zoning strategy, construction contracts, leasing, and the disputes that inevitably follow.
The value of the practice is the coverage. A single deal often touches entity choice, tax structuring, secured financing, land use approvals, lease drafting, and eventual disposition. Those are usually different lawyers at different firms. Here, they are the same team.

Common questions
How early should counsel be involved in a deal?+
Before the letter of intent is signed. Deal terms locked in an LOI are much harder to change at the definitive-agreement stage, especially around indemnities, escrows, and post-closing tax exposure.
Do you handle land use and zoning?+
Yes, for commercial and mixed-use projects, including approvals and appearances before local authorities.
Can you close in New York?+
For matters that fit the firm's practice — yes; several of our attorneys are New York-admitted.
Do you represent both landlords and tenants?+
Yes, subject to conflict clearance on any specific matter.
