Oregon Real Estate Lawyers for Every Deal and Every Stage

You need an Oregon real estate team that delivers results across the entire lifecycle of a property: acquisition, development, leasing, financing, operations, and disputes. We represent buyers, sellers, developers, investors, lenders, owners’ associations, and property managers statewide, from single-asset deals to complex, multi-site portfolios.

Full-Spectrum Real Estate Counsel

Transactions and Closings

We draft and negotiate purchase and sale agreements for commercial, industrial, mixed-use, multifamily, and high-value residential assets. Our diligence is practical and fast: title and survey review, easements and access, environmental and geotechnical issues, estoppels and SNDA work, entity and authority checks, and escrow coordination through funding and recordation. We also manage 1031 exchange timelines and work directly with qualified intermediaries to keep exchanges clean.

Development, Land Use, and Zoning

From site control through certificate of occupancy, we guide you through comprehensive plan and zoning compliance, conditional use and variance approvals, site plan and design review, subdivision and partition work, transportation and utility dedications, and development agreements. We resolve setbacks, encroachments, and access conflicts before they threaten schedules.

Leasing and Asset Management

We prepare and negotiate retail, office, industrial or warehouse, flex, ground, and build-to-suit leases, plus amendments, assignments, subleases, and option exercises. We address TI allowances, operating expense reconciliations, exclusives, co-tenancy, percentage rent, and CAM disputes with clear, business-first terms that prevent friction later.

Finance and Alternative Capital

We represent senior lenders, bridge and construction lenders, and borrowers on term sheets, loan documents, intercreditor and subordination agreements, guaranties, collateral packages, and post-closing deliverables. We also structure preferred equity and joint ventures that align control, economics, and exit rights.

Risk Management and Compliance

We build compliance into the deal. Disclosure regimes, brokerage and agency issues, condo and HOA documentation, landlord-tenant requirements, notices, and property-level policies are designed to reduce claims, protect value, and keep operations off the litigation track.

Disputes and Litigation

When negotiations stall, we prosecute and defend boundary and title claims, adverse possession and prescriptive easements, specific performance and contract enforcement, lien and foreclosure matters, and land use appeals. Strategy is driven by remedies and timelines, not theatrics.

Who We Serve and How We Work

Developers, owners, family offices, private equity, manufacturers expanding facilities, hospitality and multifamily operators, timber and agricultural owners, lenders, and HOAs. We scope to your goals, phase work to conserve budget, and communicate in plain English with clear next steps.

Oregon Coverage

Based in Portland, we close and entitle projects throughout Oregon, including Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Marion, Lane, Deschutes, and Jackson Counties. We know how local processes move and how to keep them moving.

Ready to Move

If you are buying, selling, leasing, financing, developing, or restructuring property in Oregon, bring us in early. We will flag the friction points, set a clean path to closing, and execute.

Decades in Oregon Real Estate

We have worked through multiple market cycles in Oregon, from fast expansions to tight credit and distressed sales. Our attorneys negotiate what matters, clear issues quickly, and keep closings moving. The goal is predictable outcomes, not surprises.

Depth That Covers Every Phase

Our team handles the full stack of real estate work in Oregon: title and survey review, easements and access, purchase and sale agreements, commercial leasing, finance, development and land use approvals, and disputes. You focus on the deal. We handle the legal complexity.

Relentless Focus on Results

Nimble when speed is required. Uncompromising when risk is real. If a dispute is the best or only path to protect value, we litigate in state and federal courts and pursue the remedies that move the needle. If a negotiated solution gets you there faster, we will secure it.

Local Insight That Saves Time

We regularly interface with Oregon city and county planners, recorders, and courts. Knowing how local processes actually work shortens timelines and reduces friction.

Straight Talk and Clear Budgets

We scope work to your objectives, provide phased budgets, and communicate in plain English. You will know what we are doing, why it matters, and what it will cost.
