What a Commercial Real Estate Attorney Does
A commercial real estate attorney is central to every commercial transaction. They draft and negotiate Purchase and Sale Agreements (PSAs), review title commitments and surveys, negotiate leases, handle entity formation, and represent clients at closing. Commercial deals are far more legally complex than residential — the attorney essentially quarterbacks the paperwork from LOI through closing.
Key Responsibilities
- Draft and negotiate Purchase and Sale Agreements (PSAs)
- Review title commitments, surveys, and exceptions
- Negotiate commercial leases and lease amendments
- Review and draft easements, declarations, and covenants
- Form single-purpose LLCs and JV operating agreements
- Coordinate closings with title company and lender counsel
When You Need One
Immediately after LOI signing and before PSA drafting. Commercial attorneys should be engaged at the LOI stage to protect client interests from the start.
Typical Cost
Hourly rates ($300-$600/hr) or flat fees ($3,500-$15,000+ for typical transactions depending on complexity).
