The practice of real estate law involves a varied and often highly complex set of activities centering on sales and acquisitions, title, land use, environmental, development, leasing, finance, joint ventures, restructuring / workouts, and litigation.

Every March, more than 200,000 nomination forms are distributed to business directors, in-house counsel and lawyers operating in the real estate sector nationwide. A shortlist for each state is formed based on the results of the nominations and our own independent research.

To assist potential clients, we provide a detailed profile of each lawyer in the guide, highlighting their expertise and experience, an overview of their firm, its real estate practice and full contact information.
