We have counseled clients in real estate matters for more than 35 years and are well known in the real estate industry for successfully representing a sophisticated and diverse client base throughout the Hudson Valley. Our attorneys have extensive experience assisting developers, landlords, home builders, lenders, borrowers, small businesses, not-for-profit entities, institutional lenders, governmental entities and individuals in all aspects of real estate transactions.
