Real Estate

Chambers USA, one of the most respected client-review services in the industry, notes that our lawyers comprise "a sought-after team particularly active in the Columbus market, with a focus on providing counsel to heavyweight developers."

This is because our real estate clients see us as more than just their lawyers—we’re business counselors, risk managers, transactional advisors, and growth strategists.

After 60+ years of partnering with Ohio’s most recognizable lenders and real estate developers, we know that a fully integrated partnership is the only way to build something special. This relationship-based approach to work is the reason our firm is ranked as a “Tier 1” firm in Columbus for issues involving real estate law by U.S. News and World Report and The Best Lawyers in America.

Our firm’s real estate attorneys combine in-depth knowledge of local and regional markets with a broad understanding of the legal, regulatory, and economic issues affecting our clients. But we also understand the importance of responsiveness, timeliness, cost-effectiveness, and a relentless focus on accomplishing our clients' goals.

Our attorneys work with a diverse range of public and private owners; commercial, mixed-use and residential developers; lenders; and borrowers regionally and nationally. In real estate deals, we represent community, regional, and national lending institutions, including community banks, national banks and life insurance companies. And as counsel to borrowers, we also represent some of the region’s most prominent real estate developers, property managers, and brokerages.
