A Closer Look:
Ed Hill's practice covers the full spectrum of real estate matters, including representation of sellers, buyers, and developers of commercial, industrial, and multifamily properties as well as representation of landlords and tenants of those types of property. He also represents both borrowers and institutional lenders in secured lending transactions. In addition, he has extensive experience in obtaining local and state land use approvals and in the creation and operation of common interest communities and other forms of shared ownership of property. Beyond legal representation, he works with his clients to provide added value through practical problem-solving advice and creative solutions that help achieve their business objectives.
Mr. Hill represents and advises his real estate clients through all phases of real estate investment, from acquisition and financing of a property through obtaining land use approvals, structuring of the form of ownership, and operation of a property and its ultimate disposition. He has frequently negotiated and obtained approval of special land use regulations that allowed his client to maximize the potential of the property. His representation of purchasers and sellers of real estate has included evaluation and resolution of title issues, negotiation of terms and conditions to resolve environmental issues and other risk factors, and negotiation of inventive ownership structures to meet the needs of the parties and to facilitate consummation of transactions. His experience representing lenders as well as borrowers in real estate financing transactions enables him to provide representation to a purchaser or property owner that facilitates acquisition and development financing of commercial properties.
