Co-Chair, Real Estate and Land Useemail
Laying a Sound Foundation for Real Estate DealsReal estate development—that's what happens between the groundbreaking and the ribbon cutting, right? Seasoned real estate professionals know otherwise. A lot of issues have to be successfully managed to lay the groundwork for that moment when the shovel hits the dirt.
Structuring a real estate project has become increasingly complex, especially in a changing economy. The challenges facing the world's top developers, owners, investors, financial institutions and funds demand experienced and intelligent legal representation.
Experience Built From the Ground UpManatt has one of the largest Real Estate groups in the United States and our lawyers are, individually, among the top advisors in the nation. At every stage of the development process—from acquisition, financing and entitlement to construction and disposition—we put our transactional know-how, market insight and relationships to work to ensure the success of our clients' projects.
Our Real Estate team includes legal and nonlegal professionals who have themselves been commercial property owners, developers and mortgage banking executives; served as city attorneys, planning board members and local government regulators; worked in state governments; and served in federal agencies. This wealth of real-world experience better positions us to provide solutions to your greatest challenges.
Our experience handling complex and cutting-edge matters, as well as our strong ties to investors, lenders, developers, regulators and government officials keep us at the forefront of industry developments. We are particularly adept at helping clients navigate the political and government landscape—the complex network of laws and regulations seeking to minimize environmental impacts.
A Panoramic View of the Real Estate LandscapeOur lawyers have counseled clients on virtually every type of real estate matter, including:
Our land use practice is nationally known for its ability to tackle complex land use issues and to address the challenges of and opportunities for green development.
Many of our lawyers were active players during the real estate recession of the early 1990s and the bursting of the real estate bubble in 2007. We bring the lessons learned to the advice we provide regarding distressed assets—from foreclosures and deeds in lieu, to workout structures and loan-portfolio sales, to the repositioning and disposition of REO assets.
Our client roster is as diverse as the matters we handle and includes domestic and foreign lenders, investors, landlords and tenants, developers, contractors, not-for-profits and others in connection with the acquisition, planning, financing, development, leasing, lease auditing, syndication and disposition of real property.
Our development work spans every product type and has taken our lawyers to every corner of the United States and a number of foreign countries. The projects have included hotel and resort developments, office buildings, single-family residential tracts and multifamily buildings (from luxury to affordable), shopping centers and power malls, industrial parks and mixed-use developments, dormitories, hospitals, community centers and museums.
As part of a large, full-service firm, our real estate lawyers have frequent contact and often work closely with lawyers in such real estate-related practice areas as banking, corporate, environmental, securities, bankruptcy, litigation, eminent domain and government.
Recognized for Our Handling of Complex Land Use Matters Both our Land Use practice and the attorneys who have made this their area of focus have been nationally recognized for our firm's handling of many of California's most challenging and sensitive entitlement matters.
Land use matters can also raise some challenging environmental issues, such as protecting habitat and coastal resources, conservation and preservation of open space and protection of endangered species. We have confronted and successfully addressed these challenges, securing the necessary entitlements and approvals by first anticipating the hurdles and then strategically securing the support of staff, community activists and elected officials.
At the Forefront of Green Development These days, there's no shortage of incentives for sustainable, environmentally friendly building projects—just as there's no question that green development requirements aren't going away anytime soon.
Manatt has demonstrated its commitment to green development by building one of the nation's leading practices in this area. With several LEED-certified lawyers on our team, our knowledge of jurisdictional, legislative and code requirements and standards has helped our clients maximize their projects' full profit potential. When it comes to green development, we're anything but "green." Our experience has included projects as diverse as "greening the big box" for an international retailer, creating a green power plant for an international energy company and developing sustainable communities.

Manatt's eminent domain, condemnation and property valuation lawyers have collectively handled hundreds of these matters on behalf of both property owners and tenants, successfully challenging the limits of the government's taking power and the adequacy of compensation in connection with road, rail and airport projects, dams and flood-control facilities, water lines and reservoirs, electricity transmission and distribution grids and other infrastructure and redevelopment projects; blight removal programs, public housing and school construction; defense installations and homeland security requirements; and parks and conservation areas.

That's where a seasoned legal team that can creatively navigate even the most complicated situations comes in.

In contrast to traditional communities that have evolved in an ad hoc fashion, master-planned communities usually start from a blank slate-undeveloped land-and require careful planning from the start to accommodate all the amenities they typically include: schools, pools, parks, golf courses, marinas, small retail businesses, professional services providers, restaurants, convenience stores and doctors' offices.
