If you want to start, manage, transfer, or exit a business, you may benefit from a business attorney's services. Business attorneys specialize in many different industries and professional fields. Depending on your business and activities, you may need one or more type of business attorney.

If you are buying or renting real estate for your business, you may benefit from the services of a commercial real estate attorney. Commercial real estate attorneys assess any risks in the deal, prepare the purchase or rental contracts, and acquire all necessary approvals. Most commercial real estate deals are complex, involving multiple parties and many details.

Estate planning attorneys help you with different strategies you can use to transfer your belongings after you die. By planning your estate, you can maximize its value by minimizing taxes and eliminating court costs and interference. Estate planning attorneys also help you control and protect your estate during your lifetime.

Real estate attorneys deal with the many laws and practice areas associated with land ownership issues. For example, a commercial real estate attorney knows which laws apply to commercial transactions for construction/development projects (such as condo construction), or land use/zoning projects (such as subdividing a parcel of land for development), or real property issues (such as financing a large land purchase).
