III.
Practice of the Firm
Real Estate
Acquisition, development, and dispute over land of consequence.
The approach.
The practice acts for owners, developers, and family holdings in the acquisition, financing, and development of significant property — and in the disputes that attend land worth fighting over.
Title is read the way the litigation practice reads a record: completely. The practice has never lost a client's title.
Representative Matters
2022 — Hudson Yards parcel assemblage — Nine parcels, one closing, no litigation.
2015 — Confidential ground-lease arbitration — Rent reset at 40% below demand.
1987 — Whitfield Wharf redevelopment — The waterfront entitlement that made the practice's name.
A selection. Most of the practice’s engagements remain, by design, confidential.
