Real Estate
A constantly changing market and a complex regulatory environment challenge every owner, developer, and user of real estate and every real estate lender in California. With their extensive experience in sophisticated real estate transactions, McPharlin Sprinkles & Thomas' Real Estate attorneys provide pragmatic advice and efficient service to assist their clients with all their transactional and regulatory real estate needs.
Our Real Estate attorneys routinely negotiate and document a wide variety of complex real estate transactions, including acquisitions, development, leasing, and financing. Our attorneys represent developers, investors, ground lessors, public agencies, corporate lessees, landlords, borrowers, lenders, sellers, purchasers and exchangers of real estate. Our real estate attorneys assist in structuring transactions and finding creative solutions to issues arising in the development, acquisition, and financing process. Further, in coordination with our Bankruptcy and Creditors' Rights attorneys, we advise clients with respect to loan work-outs and debt restructuring.
Our Real Estate attorneys also provide specialized representation in transactions involving the development and financing of affordable housing, redevelopment projects, and public-private mixed-use projects.
We pride ourselves at McPharlin Sprinkles & Thomas on our ability to combine the quality and breadth of experience found in major business law firms (where all our attorneys have practiced) with the personal service and economy of a smaller, specialized practice.
