Synopsis

For proven guidance and techniques for handling a commercial real estate deal, turn to the revised and expanded edition of A Practical Guide to Commercial Real Estate Transactions. Organized to help you negotiate and close the deal, this readable guide follows the steps of a transaction in the order in which they generally arise and offers pertinent advice, practice comments, and sample forms.

Because much of the real estate lawyer's practice revolves around transactional documents, the book emphasizes the drafting, negotiation, and revision needed to get a deal closed. Written by a law professor and two real estate practitioners, this book offers a useful combination of text overview and practice pointers. It helps lawyers with less experience navigate through the maze of steps involved in a real estate transaction. At the same time, it serves as a valuable reference for more seasoned attorneys as well as those whose practice is concentrated in other areas of the law. Downloadable forms and appendices are available online.
