Each market also has its own regulatory structure, including tax incentives, permitting requirements, rent restrictions, and zoning rules.
While many of our clients are located in New Jersey and New York, we also work with clients throughout the United States and the world. Our team includes attorneys licensed to practice in key jurisdictions; a network of foreign colleagues; and professionals who speak multiple languages, including French, Spanish, and Chinese.
