Commercial Real Estate

We represent buyers and sellers in commercial real estate transactions, from initial deal structuring through closing. Our services include drafting and negotiating letters of intent, purchase and sale agreements, and advising clients through due diligence and title review to ensure transactions proceed smoothly and with clear risk allocation.

We represent owners and developers in commercial real estate financing matters, including construction loans and permanent financing. Our role includes reviewing and negotiating loan documents, ensuring consistency with purchase and development agreements, addressing title matters that impact financing or closing, and coordinating lender requirements throughout the transaction.

Linnemeyer Law assists with the legal documentation supporting commercial construction projects, including construction loan agreements and contracts with contractors and design professionals. We help clients structure agreements that clearly define responsibilities, manage risk, and support successful project execution.

Linnemeyer Law represents both landlord and tenant clients in a wide range of commercial leasing matters. Our work includes the negotiation and documentation of office, retail, commercial, manufacturing, industrial, and ground leases, as well as related amendments, extensions, and renewals.

Commercial real estate transactions often begin with a letter of intent or term sheet outlining the material business and legal terms of the deal. We assist clients with the preparation and review of letters of intent and term sheets to ensure that key economic terms, diligence periods, contingencies, and closing conditions are clearly defined and aligned with the intended transaction structure before binding agreements are executed.

We draft and negotiate purchase and sale agreements that reflect the agreed‑upon terms of the transaction and address critical provisions such as due diligence rights, representations and warranties, covenants, conditions to closing, risk allocation, prorations, and post‑closing obligations. Our approach is practical and transaction‑focused, with an emphasis on clarity, enforceability, and execution.

We guide buyers and sellers through the commercial real estate due diligence process, including the review of property‑related materials, environmental reports, surveys, zoning and use restrictions, and title documentation. For buyers, we help identify issues that may impact value, timing, or financing. For sellers, we advise on diligence production, inspection protocols, and strategies to manage risk during the diligence period.

Title review is a central component of most commercial real estate transactions. We review title commitments, surveys, and related documents to identify title exceptions or defects that could affect the transaction or financing. When issues arise, we work to resolve title matters efficiently so they do not delay or derail closing. As an attorney‑agent for Chicago Title, Linnemeyer Law is able to coordinate title review, clearance, and closing as part of a streamlined transaction process.

Where a transaction involves third‑party financing, we work closely with buyers and lenders to coordinate financing requirements with the purchase and sale agreement. This includes reviewing loan documentation, addressing lender conditions, and ensuring consistency between financing terms and the underlying transaction documents.

We represent clients through the closing process by preparing and reviewing closing documents, coordinating prorations and credits, and working with title companies to finalize settlement statements and title policies. Many commercial real estate transactions are conducted on a remote basis, allowing parties to close efficiently without being physically present.
