From simple acquisition and sale transactions to structuring all aspects of large-scale developments and financings, our attorneys’ skills at negotiating, structuring, and documenting complex transactions put us at the forefront of the real estate marketplace in Louisiana and throughout the Southeastern United States.

Jones Walker’s real estate attorneys represent regional and national clients in a wide array of real estate development projects throughout the country, including mixed-use developments, industrial projects, and public projects. Property owners, developers, investors, and lenders rely on us for all aspects of real estate matters, including acquisition, development, planning, management, zoning, licensing, all types of permitting (including LDEQ, EPA, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), permitting, disposition, financing, securitization, sale-leasebacks, leasing on behalf of landlords and major tenants, construction contracting, as well as the acquisition and disposition of distressed properties.

Jones Walker’s real estate attorneys are also versed in matters of Louisiana oil and gas law and routinely work with oil and gas companies and pipeline companies in connection with the relocation of facilities and the release of surface rights.  

Our real estate clients include property owners; local, regional, and national developers; government entities; domestic and foreign investors and lenders; syndicators; pension funds; tax-exempt organizations; underwriters; broker-dealers; municipalities; real estate investment trusts; mortgage bankers; life insurance companies; major financial institutions and other lenders; landlords and tenants; design professionals; and consultants in all facets of commercial real estate and land use matters.
