Sands Anderson lawyers have represented clients with commercial real estate projects for more than 50 years. During that time, we have handled commercial real estate matters ranging from complex sales and acquisitions to the drafting of routine contracts and easements. 

We regularly work with developers, financial institutions, investors, and brokers across the Mid-Atlantic region, offering practical legal counsel and a deep understanding of the real estate industry. Our team is particularly well known for navigating complex financing structures, including acquisition loans, construction loans, and letters of credit. We also assist borrowers to raise real estate capital through bond financings and government-insured loans.

Daily, our lawyers help clients by reviewing, negotiating, and drafting agreements, deeds, loan documents, leases, declarations and covenants, and other instruments related to commercial real estate transactions and common-interest community ventures. In addition to being well-versed on all aspects of commercial real estate law, we understand that prompt legal support enables transactions to move quickly and actively seek to remove obstacles that create delays and add cost.
