Real Estate
James, McElroy & Diehl has a broad-based real estate practice representing purchasers, sellers, lenders, investors, developers and contractors. We represent these clients in all aspects of real estate acquisitions and dispositions, and the ownership, development, financing, leasing and operation of real property.
We recognize that effective representation in real estate matters requires an understanding of finance, tax issues and customary deal terms.
