Chicago Real Estate Attorney

 Real estate often represents the bulk of an individual’s or business’s assets and, therefore, real estate transactions can be challenging and stressful given what is at stake.  Moreover, even the most straightforward real estate transaction involves complicated legal documents that can be difficult to understand. Our knowledgeable Chicago real estate attorney Alan Sohn has the skill and ability to proficiently handle even the most complex real estate transactions.  

Our experience encompasses a broad range of real estate transactions, including purchases, sales, leases, transfers and land trusts, and we represent a wide variety of clients throughout Illinois, including Cook, Lake, Dupage and Will Counties in both multi-family residential and commercial transactions.  

Real Estate Planning for Closely-Held and Family Businesses

We have significant experience representing family businesses and are able to construct transactions and draft documents with business succession and estate planning objectives in mind.  Depending on the nature of the business, a family business may involve significant real estate issues – whether it be the expansion of a plant, the building, acquisition, or leasing of industrial the rental of new office space, or the purchase of real estate investment properties – and whenever the business undertakes these transactions, great thought and care must go into how the transaction is structured and how and by whom the property is to be owned in order to preserve advantageous succession and estate plans and as an asset protection device from the businesses’ creditors.   At The Law Offices of Alan E. Sohn, an experienced Chicago real estate lawyer will consider your succession plans and business objectives to develop the proper structure of the transaction and draft the necessary legal documents accordingly.
