McLaughlin Quinn Cianciolo Bilodeau LLC is respected by both clients and colleagues for our success with complex real estate transactions. Our commercial real estate practice encompasses the purchase, sale, lease and financing of real estate. We advise real estate developers, investors, businesses, and other entities on a broad spectrum of matters, from the acquisition of improved real estate or vacant land for construction of manufacturing facilities, to the negotiation, documenting and closing of real estate loans and construction financing.

We work with our clients to structure tax-efficient residential and commercial developments, including capital gains planning, syndicated and tax credit financed transactions. Our tax attorneys have experience in federal, state and local issues affecting real estate. These sophisticated transactions have many moving pieces, and the way they are structured can have profound tax implications. Our collaborative approach to practice ensures our attorneys’ expertise is leveraged for our clients’ benefit.

Commercial Real Estate Services

Purchase and Sale of Real Estate

Our team offers comprehensive guidance for even the most sophisticated real estate transactions, from the negotiation and drafting of sales agreements, to title and due diligence review, to real estate financing. Our commercial real estate attorneys deftly help clients navigate every step of a transaction, from term sheet to closing.

1031 Like-Kind Exchanges

We regularly advise clients regarding tax-deferred exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, commonly referred to as 1031 exchanges. We counsel our clients on the range of available 1031 exchange structures, including deferred or delayed exchanges, improvement or build-to-suit exchanges, reverse exchanges, simultaneous exchanges, and partial 1031 exchanges.

1031 exchanges are one of the most dynamic areas of our tax practice and one fraught with technical nuance. Due to strict rules on timing and structure, the key to a successful 1031 exchange is to seek tax counsel early, before an inadvertent misstep precludes this tax saving opportunity. Our seasoned commercial real estate lawyers ensure compliance with IRS rules while also ensuring a successful closing.

Commercial Leasing

We assist clients with negotiating the terms of commercial lease agreements as well as drafting and reviewing lease agreements and ensuring compliance with the parties’ desired business terms. Clarity in agreements is essential to preventing needless disputes. Our commercial real estate attorneys ensure not only that the terms of an agreement are favorable to our clients, but that they are clear and unambiguous. We negotiate leases on behalf of commercial tenants and landlords. We also manage lease portfolios for landlords with high-volume commercial portfolios.

Real Estate Workouts and Debt Restructuring

A commercial real estate lawyer can be an invaluable resource for developers or other businesses navigating financial challenges. Our knowledge of real estate, business, and tax law enables us to identify creative and effective solutions. We advise and advocate for clients in loan restructuring and modifications, negotiation of forbearance agreements, real estate sales and refinancing, and protecting assets in bankruptcy.

We take pride in offering our clients strategic problem-solving and the commercial real estate expertise of a large law firm along with the personal service and efficiency of a smaller boutique firm. We serve clients throughout New England from our primary office in Providence, Rhode Island, as well as our convenient Massachusetts locations in Boston and Westborough. Our attorneys are also licensed to practice in Florida and Colorado, and assist clients with real estate matters from our Boca Raton and Denver offices.
