Commercial real estate transactions carry real consequences: capital is committed for years, title issues surface late, and a single overlooked lease provision can shape a property’s economics for a decade. Kaufman & Hilbert PC provides real estate transactions counsel to companies, investors, developers, and organizations — handling acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, development, and financing-related documentation from letter of intent through closing. Every matter is handled by experienced attorneys, not passed down a chain of associates. Based in Alpharetta, Georgia, and serving clients nationwide and internationally, the firm pairs deep transactional experience with senior-led responsiveness.
Whether you are acquiring a single asset, developing a project, or repositioning a portfolio, we manage the legal workstream so your team can focus on the deal. Our services include:
We represent buyers and sellers of commercial property throughout the transaction lifecycle — structuring the deal, drafting and negotiating purchase and sale agreements, managing diligence and escrow, and driving the file to closing. Representations, closing conditions, and post-closing obligations are negotiated with your actual exposure in mind, not boilerplate.
Because we work both sides of the table, we know where leverage sits. For landlords, we draft lease forms and negotiate terms that protect the asset and its income stream. For tenants, we scrutinize operating expense pass-throughs, assignment rights, exclusivity, build-out obligations, and renewal and termination options — the provisions that determine what a lease really costs.
Sound transactions are built on what diligence reveals. We review title commitments, surveys, exception documents, existing leases, and service contracts, flagging encumbrances and restrictions before they become closing-day surprises — and translate findings into what to cure, what to negotiate, and what to price.
Kaufman & Hilbert represents companies, individuals, and organizations on both sides of commercial real estate transactions — buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants, developers and investors. Clients range from emerging companies acquiring a first facility to established enterprises managing multi-state portfolios, and we are equally comfortable closing a single local acquisition or coordinating a multi-state transaction.
