We help buyers create value when they take on the risks of ownership and development. And we help sellers realize the returns they have earned for shouldering the risks of holding and developing their properties. All good real estate lawyers do those things.

What makes Venable stand out is our ability to identify and manage risks that others may miss. We know what risk means to each player—developer, investor, lender, Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), pension fund, insurance company, owner and user—because we’ve represented every type of player in every type of market.

SEE THE RISK AND MANAGE THE RISK

From concept to lease-up, we know real estate cold.

For owners, investors and corporate users of real estate, we cover the full spectrum—from straightforward local transactions to complex, multifaceted projects and sophisticated financings involving hundreds of portfolio properties.

To make deals that might not otherwise happen, we provide creative problem-solving skills that enable the parties on both sides to manage the risks in complex transactions.

We bring to the table just the right people for the task—attorneys whose skills precisely match the issues at hand.
