Real estate law regulates the ownership, use, and conveyancing of real property. Real estate lawyers advise clients in all aspects of real estate transactions, including in the negotiation and documentation of purchase agreements, leases, financing arrangements, and construction and development contracts. Real estate lawyers also assist clients in navigating governmental regulation of real property, such as land use and zoning restrictions, building codes, and environmental regulation.
