Providing support and service to owners and developers in all aspects of commercial real estate; serving as outside general counsel to a wide variety of entities to work with them to resolve the day-to-day legal issues that impact their businesses through all phases of the business cycle; advising on tax aspects of entity formation and a broad array of commercial transactions.

Riemer & Braunstein’s real estate/business/tax law practice area combines the expertise of our lawyers from these three disciplines to provide a broad range of coordinated services to our clientele.

The firm’s real estate practice works with our business law practice to provide experienced support and service to owners and developers in all aspects of commercial real estate acquisition, divestiture and development. In addition to regional real estate practices, the firm handles acquisitions and dispositions on a national basis. We also participate in numerous industry organizations.

Our real estate team works closely with our Land Use/Land Use Litigation practice area to work with our clients on entitlements for development projects throughout Massachusetts.

Our tax team collaborates with our business and real estate practices and our tax credits and community finance group to ensure efficient tax structuring and compliance with relevant tax law and administrative guidance, enabling clients to meet their business and economic objectives within these constraints. A major part of the tax team’s work is in the tax credit and incentives space, providing advice to firm clients on qualification with the specific requirements of those programs and assessing risk of recapture or disallowance of various tax benefits.

The addition of our New York City, Chicago, Miami, and Newport Beach offices has expanded our real estate capabilities to provide for the representation of owners of commercial real estate in the New York, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles and Southern California areas.
