Industrial Real Estate Attorney
Our team at MPL Law practices in the areas of real estate and municipal law in Pennsylvania. We have extensive knowledge of industrial real estate and can help you get the most value from your property for purposes like manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, logistics and specialized production. We work with clients like developers, industrial landlords, and sellers and buyers of industrial properties and interests. Our team offers strategic legal support for industrial and commercial development.
Mitigating Environmental Risk in Industrial Transactions
Many industrial sites, such as factories and processing plants, have legacy costs, including soil contamination or hazardous waste, that are not typically present on other commercial sites. We can help mitigate environmental risks by assisting in the management of Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments.
We can also help perform due diligence for compliance with federal, state and local environmental regulations relevant to commercial and industrial sites. Our regulatory knowledge enables us to determine the necessary permits and approvals for industrial operations or redevelopment. Our work can help mitigate the risks associated with these transactions.
Our industrial real estate lawyers also help clients secure land development and subdivision approvals for new industrial sites, plant expansions or adaptive reuse projects.
Structuring Purchase Agreements and Triple Net Leases
In addition to environmental considerations, we also cover the transactional aspects of industrial real estate deals. Our team can help draft and negotiate purchase, sale and exchange agreements for commercial and industrial properties. Our knowledge of industrial cases enables us to address specific concerns, such as equipment included in sales and existing service contracts. We can also work with you to manage occupancy through services such as lease enforcement and dispute resolution.
We can assist with structuring and executing complex transactions, including Agreements of Sale and triple net leases (NNN) that clearly define maintenance and repair responsibilities for industrial properties. We can help put the proper protections in place so tenants know what spending to expect and landlords can trust their tenants to maintain the property and facilities properly. We also draft and review industrial construction contracts and joint venture agreements for complex projects involving multiple stakeholders or phased construction.
Streamlined Closing With In-House Title Services
Part of our legal practice includes MPL LandServices, which handles title insurance and settlement services. By integrating this service into our practice, we can enhance the speed and administrative simplicity of title examinations and insurance processes, resulting in a smoother overall settlement experience.
We can review title commitments to identify legal issues that might affect a clear title. Then, we can work with you to resolve these issues. Our team can also issue title insurance policies to protect against future title claims.
