REAL ESTATE

Keegan Werlin LLP real estate attorneys provide comprehensive services to real estate clients of all types. Our clients include public utilities, municipalities, corporations, trusts, owner-occupants, lenders, investors, developers and first-time buyers. Their real estate needs range from complex commercial transactions to the purchase and financing of personal residences. Our real estate attorneys routinely handle purchase and sale and other land acquisition and disposition agreements, options, leases, conventional and tax-exempt financing construction contracts, tax-deferred exchanges, condominium development and governance, easements, title questions and insurance and property tax assessment matters.& To meet our clients’ diverse goals and objectives, Keegan Werlin real estate attorneys work closely with our business and environmental law attorneys in order to structure the most appropriate and cost-effective real estate transaction.

Many of the transactions that our real estate attorneys are involved with also require federal, state and local land use permits and approvals. Our attorneys, many of whom have extensive prior experience as state agency and municipal counsel, are experts in shepherding a project through the often bewildering maze of land use permitting including zoning, site plan review, subdivision control, Title V, wetlands and hazardous waste. These attorneys, either working alone or in concert with a client’s other consultants, facilitate the preparation of applications, presentations at public hearings, opinion letters and legal memoranda, and frequently appear as a client’s spokesperson at Board of Appeal, Planning Board, Board of Health and Conservation Commission hearings.

In addition, our real estate attorneys represent clients in real estate and land use related litigation and alternative dispute resolution. Such disputes often concern upholding or challenging permits, resolving title and other possessory right issues, landlord-tenant relations and property valuations.The attorneys appear at administrative hearings, at trial and appellate levels of the federal and state courts, and before mediators and arbitrators. Of course, the expertise and resources of the firm’s Trial/Litigation Group are always available to assist in any litigation or dispute resolution matter.
