Real Estate Law
At HHB, we let our real estate clients worry about the three most important aspects of any project: location, location and location. Everything else is our responsibility. We represent developers, owners, lenders, tenants, and other interested parties in a wide range of real property issues, from acquisitions and leasing matters through foreclosures and the sale process. Whether your project is commercial or residential, a condominium or leasing opportunity, we provide our own three important aspects to your legal issues: service, value and expertise. When you work with HHB attorneys, you can rest assured that your real estate project is on a firm foundation.
Purchases and Sales
Real estate is the single biggest investment made in the life of many businesses and individuals. Whether you are looking to expand or ready to downsize your space, HHB’s attorneys can guide you through the complete purchase and sale process. From the Offer-to-Purchase to financing, through title and environmental due diligence and on through the closing, we remove roadblocks to getting the deal done.

Leasing, Condominiums & Other Property Matters
Ownership is only one piece of the real property puzzle. HHB attorneys represent landlords and tenants in all aspects of negotiating and enforcing lease arrangements. We also work with condominium associations to ensure that developments are governed properly and operate harmoniously. Add to that our work in drafting and enforcing Easements and CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions), creating life estates and other interests in land, and addressing environmental issues, and you find a large firm real estate practice with small firm service and value.

When you find yourself in a situation you did not ask to be in, you know you can always count on HHB to help get you out.
