PRACTICE AREAS

At Counsel Direct, real estate isn’t just a transaction—it’s a milestone. Whether you're acquiring a multi-tenant plaza, navigating a complex disposition, or refinancing a residential investment, we offer experienced, responsive legal guidance tailored to your unique deal.

We act as legal partners on a wide variety of commercial real estate transactions, including:

• Plaza acquisitions with due diligence and financing support
  
  

• Sale-leaseback arrangements
  
  

• Hospitality and service sector properties like hotels and gas stations
  
  

• Distressed asset purchases through bankruptcy, receivership, or liquidation proceedings
  
  

We understand that timing is critical. That’s why we prioritize clear communication, reliable turnaround, and proactive issue-spotting—so your transaction moves forward with clarity and confidence.

We also routinely represent owners in expropriation matters, working to ensure their rights are fully protected when the government initiates takings or easement negotiations. Whether it's early-stage consultation or full representation, we stay focused on securing the best outcome for our clients.

On the residential side, we assist clients with everything from first-home purchases to portfolio additions, refinancing, or title transfers. Whether it’s your family home or a long-term investment, we make the process smooth, secure, and stress-free.

Whatever the deal, whatever the property—
We’re here to make sure your real estate strategy has a strong legal foundation.

Our corporate and commercial services are designed to evolve with your needs. We help entrepreneurs incorporate with confidence, organize their governance structures, and put in place the right foundation—from minute books to shareholder agreements—to support growth and mitigate risk.

As your business scales, we’re there to support critical transactions. From asset or share purchases to licensing deals, we offer thoughtful drafting and negotiation support that reflects not just the legal terms—but the business reality behind them.

We also assist clients with a wide range of commercial agreements, including:

• Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreements
  
  

• Master Service Agreements (MSAs)
  
  

• Supplier and Vendor Contracts
  
  

• Technology Licensing and SaaS Agreements
  
  

In short, we work to make sure your contracts aren’t just paper—they’re tools that protect, enable, and empower your business decisions.
