Arnold & Porter Real Estate attorneys handle all aspects of sales and purchases of real estate. These projects include single property transactions, transfers of portfolios, ground leases, 1031 tax-free exchanges, investments in owners of real estate, real estate investment trust (REIT) unit transactions, "loan-to-own" transactions, foreclosures on debt secured by real estate, other distressed debt workouts, and sale/leasebacks.

Our practice covers all asset types, including hospitality, office, corporate headquarters, complex mixed-use property, retail, residential, raw land, industrial and warehouse property, agricultural property, data centers, and biotech and life sciences labs.

Investors, developers, lenders, buyers, and sellers look to the in-depth knowledge of our attorneys for creative solutions, as well as practical and market-based advice in structuring deals, performing due diligence, negotiating, and drafting documentation. On many transactions, we work closely with colleagues from our other practice groups — such as Tax, Bankruptcy and Restructuring, and Environmental — to provide a full array of legal services.
