Commercial Real Estate
For lawyers, a commercial real estate practice often involves finding needles in haystacks of title, tax and zoning records. Because of his precise attention to detail, Larry McBennett finds them, which is just one reason why he leads our commercial real estate practice. During his 18 years in private practice Larry has assisted clients with the purchase of land for development of subdivisions, office buildings, medical buildings, industrial space and shopping centers. The attorneys who handle this practice area -- Larry, Ed Gaskins, Mike Tadych and Louis Wooten -- combine both real property and business expertise, which enables us to offer a wide array of advice and services to clients who are seeking to buy and develop real estate, or who need to buy or lease business property. Our commercial real estate lawyers negotiate leases and purchases, draft easements, collaborate with surveyors on recombinations, and handle 1031 tax deferred exchanges. We also work with lenders to structure financing from simple land acquisition loans to conduit loans.
By virtue of his having represented many homeowners associations, Mr. McBennett also has special expertise in drafting restrictive covenants and condominium declarations, organizing homeowners associations, and counseling clients on the enforceability of covenants.
