- Real Estate Partnerships & LLP’s: By definition, a partnership is a legal relationship between two or more entities. The relationship is contractually defined as joint principals in a business. An LLP is a form of business that, while a partnership, limits the liability of the partners. In real estate, a partnership can have many applications. It is critical to have a legal document drawn up that spells out all the rights and responsibilities of the various partners. It is important to have a real estate contract attorney who represents your interests to assist you in hammering out the details of these contracts.
- Real Estate Construction Litigation: It is an unfortunate fact of life that if you have a business for any length of time you are either going to wind up being sued or filing a lawsuit. Construction is an industry that is ripe for this to happen. There are a myriad of events that can lead to a dispute that cannot be resolved without litigation. In the case of litigation, it is absolutely essential that you have an advocate who not only understands the intricacies of the law, but also your business so the correct questions can be asked in preparation and development of your case. We at Lerner, Veit & Stanaland have a deep background in the construction area of real estate law and can provide you with the counsel and guidance you need in the case of litigation.
- Tax Deferred Exchanges: A tax deferred exchange involves the exchange of certain types of property that may defer the recognition of capital gains or losses that would be due upon the sale. As a result, any capital gains taxes otherwise due are deferred. To understand whether or not your property transfer qualifies or even whether this type of exchange is right for you, it is imperative that you have an excellent grounding in not only real estate law but in the tax laws, both federal and state. The real estate attorneys of Lerner and Veit have such expertise.
