Our attorneys have many years of experience in assisting clients in the sale of commercial real estate, including sale of vacant ground, single and multi-tenant retail properties, industrial projects, single family investment properties, large and small multi-family developments (including apartments and hotels), and other types of commercial real estate.

We will help you understand and negotiate a contract, communicate with counsel for the purchaser, review title work, assist with due diligence items, and produce any documents needed at the time of closing.

We can also communicate with lenders and address any issues relative to outstanding loans, including loans involving commercial mortgage backed securities or defeasance. Like all purchases, all sales are unique and each may have specific or unique aspects which need to be addressed. Our attorneys will be there for you to assist with any unforeseen post-closing issues that sometimes arise in the sale of commercial property.

Taxes.

Few things are more steadfast or more onerous. Making sure you pay what you owe — and nothing more — shapes the core of our tax counsel. We have deep experience representing consumer, business, and banking clients in tax appeals before local boards of revision, boards of tax appeal, and various courts in the State of Ohio.

When working with you, we begin by reviewing all available evidence that may support your request for a lower valuation or help challenge a proposed increase. We believe it is critical that you understand the prospects of your particular case and what may be necessary to give you the best chance of success.

We can help represent your interests before any boards or courts by presenting pertinent evidence including documentary evidence, live testimony from you, appraisers, or other third parties. You need not, nor should you have to, go it alone.

Throughout our long history of handling zoning issues, we have helped clients from across Ohio successfully resolve a range of zoning disputes.

We can provide assistance to help you obtain rezoning of your property, obtain variance, or resolve whatever zoning or use of real estate issue you many have.

Helping you resolve your zoning dispute begins with providing you with a full understanding of the Zoning Code and knowing what you hope to accomplish. From there we can determine the best way to move forward and begin working with the appropriate zoning authorities to help you achieve your goals.
