Real Estate Development
Laying the Legal Groundwork to Make Your Project Happen
Real estate development is a business filled with risks, multiple business relationships, deadlines and financial pressures. The rewards can make all the risks and the details worthwhile.
Sullivan, Ward, Asher & Patton works with developers, builders, contractors, suppliers, architects, engineers and others to reduce the risks by assuring all legal requirements are met. From offices in Southfield, Michigan, and Chicago, Illinois, we represent clients throughout the Midwest and across the country.
