With a long-standing reputation for practical judgment and commercial insight, Vedder serves as a trusted advisor on real estate, construction, and land use matters for clients operating across the United States and globally.

contentpilot/introduction

The team provides a full range of legal services to developers, lenders, private equity funds, joint ventures, investors, private owners, landlords, tenants, property managers, brokers, contractors, architects, and governmental entities. Work spans the complete lifecycle of real estate assets, from acquisition and development through financing, leasing, operation, and disposition. Attorneys regularly negotiate and document complex acquisition and sale transactions, including tax-advantaged structures, tax-free exchanges, sale-leasebacks, and distressed acquisitions, supported by thorough due diligence and environmental and municipal review.

core/paragraph

The practice is equally active on the development and construction side, advising on zoning and land use approvals, development agreements, and community engagement, as well as drafting and negotiating architecture, engineering, and construction contracts. Clients also rely on the team to structure joint ventures and investment vehicles, manage construction risk, and address regulatory and safety considerations.

Financing is a core strength, with experience across acquisition, construction, mezzanine, and permanent financings, syndicated facilities, intercreditor arrangements, and loan workouts, including insolvency and foreclosure proceedings. The team also handles leasing and licensing across all major asset classes, providing market-driven guidance that controls costs and mitigates risk. When disputes arise, lawyers are prepared to resolve them efficiently through litigation or alternative dispute resolution.

Across asset classes, industries, and jurisdictions, the focus remains consistent: clear advice, disciplined execution, and results that align with clients’ commercial objectives.
