At Michelman Robinson, real estate isn’t just transactional; it’s strategic. We counsel institutional investors, developers, family offices, owners, and operating businesses on the full lifecycle of real estate assets—from acquisition and financing through leasing, development, and disposition. Our work spans asset classes and geographies, with deep experience in mixed-use projects, multifamily developments, hospitality properties, retail centers, and commercial buildings nationwide.

We’re equally fluent in market-making deals and high-stakes challenges. Our lawyers advise on complex structuring and financing transactions, joint ventures, 1031 exchanges, construction contracts, and distressed asset workouts. In New York and beyond, we represent condominiums and cooperatives, providing practical counsel on governance, commercial leases, and building operations.

We handle leasing from all sides of the table—landlords, tenants, and subtenants— negotiating office, retail, and hospitality leases with an understanding of both deal dynamics and long-term asset strategy. And because real estate issues rarely arise in isolation, we collaborate across the firm’s full platform—corporate, tax, regulatory, and litigation—to help clients anticipate risk, capitalize on opportunity, and advance deals and the strategies behind them.
