Commercial Real Estate Closings

Our firm provides valuable assistance throughout the process of commercial real estate closings. Here are some ways in which we can help:

1. Due Diligence: Before a commercial real estate transaction can proceed, thorough due diligence is necessary. Our firm will help review and analyze various legal documents and records, such as title deeds, surveys, leases, zoning regulations, environmental reports, and permits. This ensures that the property is free from any legal issues or encumbrances that could affect the transaction.
2. Contract Negotiation: Commercial real estate transactions involve complex contracts, including purchase agreements, lease agreements, financing documents, and more. Our firm can negotiate and draft these contracts on behalf of their clients, ensuring that their interests are protected and that all relevant terms and conditions are included.
3. Title Examination and Insurance: Our firm can conduct a thorough title examination to verify the ownership and history of the property. We can also help secure title insurance, which protects the buyer or lender against any unforeseen title defects or claims that may arise in the future.
4. Financing and Liens: If financing is involved, we can assist in reviewing loan documents, negotiating terms with lenders, and ensuring that all necessary requirements are met. We can also conduct searches to identify any existing liens or encumbrances on the property and help resolve them before closing.
5. Closing Preparation: Our firm plays a crucial role in preparing for the closing. We coordinate with various parties involved, including the buyer, seller, lenders, and title company, to gather and organize the required documentation. We ensure that all legal requirements are met, all necessary permits and licenses are obtained, and that the transaction complies with applicable laws and regulations.
6. Closing Representation: During the closing, a law firm can represent their client’s interests, review the final settlement statements, and ensure that all documents are executed properly. We may also address any last-minute issues or concerns that may arise and ensure a smooth and legally compliant closing process.
7. Post-Closing Matters: Even after the closing, there may be post-closing matters that require attention. A law firm can assist with recording the necessary documents with the appropriate government authorities, handling any post-closing disputes or issues, and providing ongoing legal advice related to the property.
