Commercial and Industrial Real Estate Attorneys in Naples, Florida

Understanding Commercial and Industrial Real Estate Law

Commercial and industrial real estate transactions involve unique challenges that require specialized legal expertise. Unlike residential property, these deals often include complex financing structures, detailed lease terms, land-use issues, and compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Our attorneys help clients navigate:

• Property acquisitions and sales
  
  
• Financing and refinancing agreements
  
  
• Zoning, permitting, and environmental compliance
  
  
• Leasing and subleasing arrangements
  
  
• Construction and development contracts
  
  
• Tax structuring and entity formation
  
  

At Jostock & Jostock, we take the time to understand your business goals and craft strategies that align with both your immediate needs and long-term objectives.

Sales and Acquisitions of Commercial Property

Buying or selling commercial real estate requires careful attention to detail and thorough due diligence. Our attorneys handle every aspect of the process, ensuring that each transaction is legally sound and financially advantageous.

We assist with:



• Drafting and negotiating purchase and sale agreements

Commercial Leasing

Commercial leasing is often one of the most significant aspects of owning or managing commercial property. The terms of a lease can have a long-term impact on your business, profitability, and operational flexibility.

Our attorneys represent both landlords and tenants in the negotiation, drafting, and enforcement of commercial and industrial leases. We help clients establish clear, enforceable agreements that define each party’s rights and obligations.

Our commercial leasing services include:

• Lease drafting and negotiation (office, retail, industrial, warehouse, and mixed-use properties)
  
  
• Sublease and assignment agreements
  
  
• Tenant improvement allowances and build-out provisions
  
  
• Default, renewal, and termination clauses
  
  
• Dispute resolution and eviction proceedings
  
  

For landlords, we create strong leases that protect your property and income stream. For tenants, we review lease terms to ensure fair and balanced agreements that support your business operations.

Industrial Real Estate Representation

Industrial real estate deals often involve complex legal considerations, including environmental regulations, land-use restrictions, and construction oversight. Our firm has deep experience assisting clients with manufacturing plants, warehouses, logistics centers, and distribution facilities across Florida.

We provide comprehensive legal support for:

• Environmental due diligence and compliance
  
  
• Industrial lease negotiation and drafting

Development and Construction

Development and construction projects are complex undertakings that require proactive legal management to minimize risk and prevent costly disputes. Our attorneys advise developers, contractors, and investors through every phase of the project, from acquisition to completion.

We assist with:

Tax Planning for Commercial & Industrial Property

Real estate transactions often carry significant tax implications. Our attorneys integrate tax planning and structuring into every commercial or industrial deal to maximize financial efficiency.

We assist clients with:

• Entity selection for property ownership and liability protection
  
  
• 1031 exchanges for deferring capital gains taxes

By aligning real estate and tax strategies, we help clients achieve the most favorable outcomes for both immediate transactions and long-term asset management.
