News:
The firm is pleased to announce three of Canada’s leading real estate lawyers — Enzo Sallese, Steven I. Pearlstein, and Andrea Wong — will join its fast-growing North American Real Estate practice. More
Cozen O’Connor has earned its place among the nation’s top real estate legal practices. With 75+ dedicated real estate attorneys based in cities across the U.S. and Canada, the firm offers vast real estate capabilities and a full-service multidisciplinary platform. Institutional and entrepreneurial clients rely on Cozen O’Connor to help them achieve success in all areas of the real estate marketplace.
REAL ESTATE PRACTICES
Cozen O’Connor serves clients in the acquisition and disposition of all classes of commercial real estate and routinely leads asset-based and equity interest deals involving transfer of ownership of everything from a stand-alone, single-use property to a highly structured multi-jurisdictional portfolio.
The firm leads complex commercial real estate financings and investments on behalf of lenders, investors, and borrowers throughout the United States and Canada. The team designs finance strategies, negotiates and documents transactions, conducts due diligence, and executes successful closings.
We advise developers, sponsors, and owner/operators, as well as financial institutions, real estate funds, private equity firms, and REITS on complex real estate joint ventures and lead single-property, portfolio, and programmatic joint ventures targeting all classes of real estate.
Attorneys at Cozen O’Connor represent developers, owners, and investors in their most important and ambitious projects. They have decades of experience leading development at every scale, whether developing vacant land for a specific purpose or redeveloping an assemblage of built properties for multiple uses.
Leasing counsel represents landlords, tenants, and developers in commercial leasing of all categories of real estate, including office, retail and shopping centers, industrial, warehouses, student housing, lab/science space, data centers, and telecom sites.
Cozen O’Connor regularly represents ground lessors and ground lessees in the formation, negotiation, and operation of ground leases in real estate markets across the United States and is a widely recognized legal leader in the development of ground leases as enhanced financing tools.
The firm represents developers, builders, property owners, investors, REITs, banks, nonprofits, and municipalities in all aspects of land use and zoning for diverse real estate assets, including multifamily, office, retail, educational, infrastructure, entertainment, industrial, and municipal.
The firm is known as a thought leader in the condo/co-op space and represents condo/co-op boards and homeowner associations as well as condo/co-op sponsors, developers, and investors. We advise on all aspects of condo/co-op formation, regulations, transactions, litigation, and day-to-day operations.
Whether the cause of distress is project specific or market wide, the firm helps clients identify and achieve best-case solutions to a wide array of distressed real estate scenarios. Cozen O’Connor advises clients on workouts, restructurings, foreclosures, bankruptcies, and capital rescues.
Distinctions
Cozen O’Connor distinguishes itself in the real estate marketplace by fielding a legal team that has the credentials, experience, and sophistication to compete with any top global law firm, along with budget predictability and a sustainable rate structure. We staff matters leanly, work efficiently, and prioritize communication and collaboration.
A too-often overlooked benefit of keeping teams tight and leverage low is that it improves attorney retention and, with that, client service. Clients enjoy real consistency in matter staffing, get to work with the same attorneys over the course of multiple engagements, form more lasting professional relationships, receive more tailored advice as attorneys accrue institutional knowledge, and feel more confident that their attorneys today are fully invested in their success tomorrow.
