About
Provided by Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP
Greenberg Glusker represents developers, investors, lenders, owners and operators of all types and categories of real estate. Our diverse client list includes office, retail and industrial landlords and tenants, institutional and individual investors, banks, commercial and residential brokerage firms, REITs, sports teams, entertainment venues, construction companies and government agencies. While many of our clients are based in Southern California, we represent a wide array of national and international companies as well as high-net worth individuals from the U.S. and abroad.
Our real estate lawyers are more than skilled technicians. They are deal makers and business people who take ownership of their clients’ objectives and help achieve those goals in an efficient, cost-effective manner. We advise our clients on all aspects of their transactions, providing professional service with personal interest. This includes determining the appropriate ownership vehicles in light of tax and liability issues, negotiating the necessary documentation, performing the required due diligence, and giving practical advice. Additionally, we often collaborate with financial, design and construction professionals to ensure positive results from each deal.
