International commercial real estate transactions raise a number of legal issues that require significant legal knowledge and the depth of experience to recognize the need to retain and manage local counsel. This requires counsel who understands the complex legal issues, as well as the various other hurdles, that can arise when the deal involves assets and properties located outside of the United States.

Although our practice focuses on Florida and US transactions, we represent clients on deals involving property and businesses outside of the United States. We have significant experience working with and managing local counsel.
