Buying, selling, financing, developing, litigating. Real estate deals are complex at every stage. The Real Estate Group at Warshaw Burstein is built to handle all of it.

With a team of 20 attorneys and a long history of representing owners, investors, lenders, developers, and tenants across the United States, our group brings deep knowledge and experience to every type of real estate matter. We represent regional and foreign banks, non-bank lenders, funds, developers, cooperatives, condominiums, and individual clients alike. Our attorneys also counsel cooperative and condominium boards, advising on governance, transactions, and disputes. And because real estate is rarely just a real estate issue, we draw seamlessly on the firm's tax, trusts and estates, and litigation practices to deliver complete counsel.

Our work spans the full spectrum of real estate law, including acquisitions and sales, condo and co-op sales and board representation, commercial and residential leasing, development, construction, land use and zoning, rent regulation, workouts and restructurings, litigation, and tax planning.

What sets our approach apart is how we work. For every transaction, we assess our clients' short and long-term objectives, weigh organizational and tax structures, and move efficiently toward closing. We look for opportunities our clients may not have seen.
We build ownership structures that are carefully planned, often sophisticated, and always designed to protect and advance our clients' interests.

From office buildings and hotels to residential developments and mixed-use projects, from landlord-tenant disputes to complex foreclosure actions, our Real Estate Group has the depth, the experience, and the strategic instincts to see matters through.

Some things are worth the wait.

Hero Beach Club in Montauk isn't just a backdrop for beautiful photos. It's a destination worthy of its own story. And Sports Illustrated agreed.

We're thrilled to share that our client Hero Beach Club was featured in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated, spotlighting everything that makes this place magnetic: the mid-century architecture, the Atlantic coastline, the surf vibe, the tequila welcome drinks, and yes, smores by the fire pit.

What Jon Krasner and the team have created at the End of the World is something entirely their own. We're proud to be in their corner.

Congratulations, Hero Beach Club.

When Mickey Leigh needed someone to fight for his late brother, the punk rock legend, Joey Ramone, he called upon our Partner Stephen Brodsky.

Mickey had been in a long-standing dispute stemming in part from a possible Netflix movie to be based on his book, “I Slept with Joey Ramone: A Punk Rock Family Memoir.” With high-conflict litigations and arbitrations ongoing for years, Mickey brought Stephen into the fray to take on the lead. In that role, Stephen helped spearhead a successful resolution for Mickey and Joey Ramone.

Mr. Leigh said, "I'm extremely grateful for the grueling and tenacious work put in by Steve. I brought him into the action late in the game, and he delivered."

Mr. Brodsky said, "I’m truly honored and grateful to have represented Mickey and helped him protect the legacy of his brother, the great Joey Ramone.”
