Real Estate Law

Our practice is focused on the legal and business issues that arise in the acquisition, development, ownership, operation, leasing, financing, and disposition of real property. We understand that in significant real estate matters, the details matter — how a transaction is structured, how risk is allocated, how an agreement is drafted, and how potential problems are anticipated can have lasting financial and practical consequences.

We bring a practical, business-minded approach to real estate law. Whether structuring and negotiating a transaction, addressing an ownership or development issue, or protecting a client's interests in a dispute, we provide experienced counsel, careful analysis, and the direct attorney involvement that sophisticated real estate matters demand.

Transactional Real Estate

Commercial real estate transactions require careful structuring, disciplined negotiation, and attention to the details that can materially affect a client's investment. Burris Law Firm represents buyers, sellers, developers, investors, landlords, tenants, and lenders in a broad range of residential and commercial real estate transactions.

We advise clients throughout the life of a transaction — from initial deal structure and negotiation through purchase and sale agreements, due diligence, title and survey review, financing, leasing, development agreements, and closing. We focus not only on documenting the transaction, but on identifying potential issues early, allocating risk appropriately, and ensuring that the agreements accurately reflect the business deal our client intends to make.

Our approach is practical and results-oriented. We understand that a successful real estate transaction requires both legal precision and commercial judgment. Our role is to protect our client's interests without unnecessarily complicating the deal — solving problems when they arise, keeping the transaction moving, and helping our clients reach closing with confidence.

Where Real Estate and Business Intersect

Commercial real estate rarely exists in isolation from the business interests behind it. Acquisitions, developments, investments, and ownership arrangements often involve questions of entity structure, governance, financing, contractual rights, and the relationships among owners and investors.

Because business and real estate law are the two cornerstones of Burris Law Firm's practice, we are able to advise clients on both sides of that intersection. We assist clients not only with the property itself, but with the entities, agreements, ownership structures, and business relationships that surround it.

That broader perspective allows us to identify issues that might otherwise be overlooked and to structure transactions with an understanding of both the real estate and the business objectives involved.

Real Estate Disputes

Real estate disputes can place substantial financial interests, valuable property rights, and ongoing business relationships at risk. When conflicts arise, Burris Law Firm represents property owners, investors, developers, landlords, tenants, lenders, and other real estate professionals in complex residential and commercial real estate disputes.

Our experience includes disputes involving residential and commercial leases, purchase and sale agreements, development and construction matters, title and ownership issues, easements and property rights, contract enforcement, and other real estate-related claims. We represent clients in state and federal court, as well as in negotiations and other dispute-resolution proceedings.

Our transactional real estate experience provides an important perspective when disputes arise. We understand how real estate transactions are negotiated, structured, documented, and closed—and where those transactions can go wrong. That experience allows us to analyze disputes not simply as litigators, but as real estate attorneys who understand the underlying deal, the property, and the business objectives at stake.
