About This Blog
If you're looking for the latest news and developments in commercial real estate law, you've come to the right place. Our commercial real estate lawyers are able to provide deep insight into commercial and high-end residential real estate transactions. While our real estate attorneys blog about events in New York, we also include significant stories from around the nation.
We find real estate law to be absolutely fascinating. It's an area of law that never fails to generate interesting cases. From surprising court decisions to new statutes and developments in markets affecting real estate law, there is always something worthwhile to examine and discuss. Since we regularly discuss these developments with our fellow real estate lawyers at the firm, we established our blog as a way to also share these stories with our site's visitors. Our real estate lawyers also belong to several list-serves comprised of leading real estate lawyers from other top New York real estate law firms giving us further exposure to topics of interest in commercial real estate.
Because we handle cutting edge commercial real estate transactions daily, we're able to provide insights that someone who's an outside observer wouldn't know about. The fact that all of our posts are written by Tom Kearns and other members of our talented team of real estate lawyers means you can always count on reading accurate information. Another particular area of expertise we cover in the blog is the law of limited liability companies with contributions from our tax and corporate lawyers.
While we pride ourselves on consistently sharing high-quality information, we want this area of our site to be a conversation. We welcome your comments and opinions on any of our posts. We've also designed our blog so that it's easy to share any of our posts on sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. You may also want to follow Tom on Twitter @TDKearns where he tweets on commercial real estate and business law topics.
