Unlike residential real estate transactions, such as buying or selling a house, commercial real estate transactions deal with any property used for business purposes, like retail shops, offices, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.

Commercial real estate transactions include things such as zoning by-laws, permits, and strict regulations. There are often additional parties beyond buyers and sellers included:

• Investors or other shareholders
• Historical societies
• Municipal boards and officials

This is why you need a real estate attorney who specializes in commercial real estate transactions. Whether you’re buying or selling a business property, the right commercial real estate lawyer can provide valuable assistance. Here’s how.

They Protect Your Interests

Whichever side of the transaction you are on, a good commercial real estate attorney will protect your interests by negotiating a contract that fits your needs.

They understand the ins and outs of commercial real estate law and will make sure your bases are covered so that you are not hit with unpleasant surprises later (like fines/penalties for failure to secure a permit for your intended use of the property).

They Understand the Fine Print

Commercial real estate involves a lot of complicated details. Your attorney understands these details and will walk you through every step of the process so that you are fully aware of what’s happening. You do not have to worry about things like tax issues, as your lawyer will work with your tax advisor to take care of them.
