Real Estate
GTW provides a wide range of legal counseling in real estate and land use transactions and litigation. We routinely represent clients in connection with negotiations involving real-property sales and purchases, options, easements and CC&Rs. We have extensive experience with all aspects of commercial leases, ground leases and subleases. We have served as full-service counsel for developers through the entire project cycle, including equity funding, site acquisition, governmental approvals, completion and sale. We are a trusted resource for resolving title and boundary matters, co-ownership issues and disputes between neighboring properties.
GTW represents clients in land-use matters before various governmental bodies and public agencies. Our consistent history of integrity has yielded relationships with individuals within those entities that allow candid discussions that clarify and smooth the path toward project approval. Whether it is negotiating a development agreement, appearing at a public hearing or navigating the CEQA process, GTW can help.
When negotiations fail, GTW’s litigators are extensively experienced and capable in all aspects of real-estate litigation. GTW attorneys have handled complex real-estate boundary disputes, easement disputes, access issues, purchase-and-sale litigation, failure to disclose cases, and lease and landlord-tenant disputes of virtually every size and nature. In addition, GTW has comprehensive expertise in commercial-loan workouts. GTW focuses on obtaining excellent cost-effective results.
