Katten is a full-service law firm with approximately 700 attorneys in locations across the United States and in London and Shanghai. Clients seeking sophisticated, high-value legal services turn to Katten for counsel locally, nationally and internationally. The firm’s core areas of practice include corporate, financial markets and funds, insolvency and restructuring, intellectual property, litigation, real estate, structured finance and securitization, transactional tax planning, private credit and private wealth. Katten represents public and private companies in numerous industries, as well as a number of government and nonprofit organizations and individuals. While many law firms focus primarily on the finance side of commercial real estate and others focus on the equity investment side, Katten's Real Estate team is known for its strengths in both. Our practice is comprised of the firm’s Real Estate Investment and Finance practice group, along with its Affordable Housing and Community Development group. Our attorneys are trained to understand how the needs of both types of clients relate to each other — we regularly represent lenders, operators and investors. This balance in practice and experience enables Katten attorneys to identify opportunities and develop creative solutions to legal and business issues to achieve our clients' objectives. We make sure our clients understand the most critical concerns of counterparties in their transactions and come up with solutions that achieve our clients' goals and resolve the opposing parties' concerns. Our real estate attorneys have the experience and knowledge needed to cost-effectively represent our clients and find workable solutions to the often seemingly unbending positions of other parties.
