Real Estate & Business Transactions

In today's competitive climate, any business can have a competitive advantage by retaining cost-effective and experienced legal counsel to assist in a wide range of issues - starting with entity formation and initial funding, continuing with contract negotiation and other issues arising from the ongoing business operations, followed by raising capital (whether equity or debt or both) to support growth, and culminating in the sale of the business. Real estate buyers, sellers and lenders also seek cost-effective and able legal counsel for their respective transactions. Our BRET attorneys are not only competent legal technicians experienced in business and real estate law, but are also trusted advisors and counselors to our clients. This combination creates added value to the clients.
