Commercial Real Estate

As with any due diligence process, commercial real estate can be time intense and document heavy, involving the disclosure of potential risks and liabilities between sell and buy side legal and financial advisory teams, as well as engineers and environmental experts. The complexity of the due diligence will depend upon the type of property, location, size and the extent of detail required, though even for the most simple and straight forward real estate acquisition, the due diligence process could take weeks and involve large volumes of questions and answers. As the adage “caveat emptor” (let the buyer beware) still stands as the guiding legal principle in all property transactions, professional due diligence is an essential and critical process for all commercial real estate transactions.
