Real estate transactions involve significant financial commitments and complex contractual obligations. Legal review and structured negotiation are critical to allocating risk, addressing regulatory requirements, and protecting long-term property interests.

Roitman Legal advises buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and investors in connection with acquisition, disposition, leasing, and property management matters.

Purchase & Sale Transactions

We assist clients in the negotiation and drafting of agreements relating to:

• Purchase and Sale Agreements for improved real property

• Vacant land transactions

• Commercial and mixed-use property acquisitions

• Related closing documentation

Our representation includes review of contingencies, financing provisions, inspection rights, allocation of closing costs, and post-closing obligations.

Title Review & Due Diligence

Real estate transactions require careful review of title and related documentation.

We provide analysis of:

• Title reports and exceptions

• Easements and encumbrances

• Recorded covenants and restrictions

• Zoning and land use considerations

Early identification of title or regulatory issues allows for resolution prior to closing and reduces post-acquisition risk.

Commercial Leasing

We represent both landlords and tenants in connection with commercial leasing matters, including:

• Retail and shopping center leases

• Office leases

• Ground leases

• Solar and land leasing agreements

Lease agreements are reviewed and structured to address rent provisions, escalation clauses, maintenance obligations, assignment rights, use restrictions, and termination provisions.

Landlord Representation

For property owners, we assist in structuring leases that protect asset value and allocate operational responsibilities appropriately. This includes drafting provisions relating to default remedies, indemnification, and long-term maintenance obligations.

Tenant Representation

For tenants, we review and negotiate lease terms to align with operational and financial considerations. Particular attention is given to renewal options, assignment rights, expense pass-throughs, and exit provisions.

Property Management Agreements

We advise clients on property management arrangements, including:

• Scope of management authority

• Compensation structures

• Reporting obligations

• Liability allocation

• Termination rights

Careful drafting of management agreements supports clarity in day-to-day operations and reduces potential disputes.

Ongoing Lease & Transaction Support

Real estate relationships extend beyond closing or lease execution. We assist clients with:

• Lease amendments and renewals

• Default notices and enforcement issues

• Dispute resolution

• Compliance with evolving local regulations

Conclusion

Real estate transactions and leasing arrangements require disciplined drafting and careful allocation of rights and obligations. Legal oversight throughout acquisition, leasing, and management processes can reduce exposure and support long-term asset stability.
