Real Estate Capital Markets (REITs)

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) play a pivotal role in the capital markets, offering investors accessible, efficient, and successful vehicles for real estate investment, while providing operators with tax-efficient platforms for growth and flexibility in raising capital. We have extensive experience with REITs and umbrella partnership real estate investment trusts (UPREITs). Our multifaceted and integrated approach to client service enables us to leverage our knowledge and proficiency in REIT projects for owners and operators of REITs, as well as lenders, investors, and joint venture partners involved with REITs.

Our comprehensive services encompass mergers and acquisitions, UPREIT structuring, public and private equity, debt offerings, and joint ventures. Additionally, we provide counsel on securities compliance, corporate governance, tax planning and compliance, lease transactions, commercial loan transactions, benefits and executive compensation counseling, and bankruptcies and reorganizations.

Our attorneys are actively engaged with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and other prominent industry organizations, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of industry developments and best practices.
