Schiff Hardin's real estate practice covers all aspects of real estate, including acquisition, sale, ownership, management, development, leasing, financing, syndication and matters relating to construction.
We represent clients in matters involving the development of unimproved land into:
- Multi-use high-rise property
- Shopping centers
- Condominiums
- Industrial Parks
- Office Parks
- Hotels
This includes all aspects of land use planning, such as:
- Zoning
- Subdivision
- Annexation
Our attorneys' experience includes a particular emphasis on real estate development, especially multi-use projects — combining residential, retail, parking and public-use areas. We have handled more multi-use projects than most firms in the United States and understand the variety of things that need to come together to complete a project — things that don't always come together easily in a large project. Our depth of experience enables us to advise our clients though the process of developing these projects in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Our preeminence in real estate law is evidenced by the fact members of our Real Estate Group continue to be honored for professional excellence. Five are ranked as leading real estate lawyers by the Illinois Leading Lawyers Network, two are Illinois Super Lawyers, and two are Northern California Super Lawyers.
