Commercial real estate transactions in Dallas require clear contracts, careful diligence, and a smooth closing process to ensure that deal terms carry through after closing. The commercial real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC handle transactional matters for owners, investors, developers, landlords, tenants, and closely held businesses, with an emphasis on clear risk allocation, workable timelines, and documentation that performs under real-world conditions.
Commercial real estate law governs the purchase, sale, leasing, financing, and development of property. In transactional work, recurring issues tend to concentrate around purchase agreement terms, title and survey constraints, lender conditions, environmental diligence, development obligations, and post-closing covenants. Roquemore Skierski PLLC approaches these matters as business transactions first, with the legal work structured to support the deal’s economics and operational plan.
The Dallas commercial real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC represent parties in sales and acquisitions involving office, retail, industrial, hospitality, mixed-use, and other commercial assets, including operating locations acquired or disposed of as part of a broader business strategy. Transactional support commonly involves drafting and negotiating primary agreements, coordinating diligence with a title company and other vendors, and managing closing deliverables so a transaction proceeds on a predictable schedule.
Due diligence, the investigation performed to confirm facts and risks before closing, often drives the negotiation leverage and the final allocation of risk. Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists with title commitment analysis, evaluation of exceptions and recorded instruments, survey review, tenant and lease diligence, service contract review, and diligence-driven revisions to the purchase agreement. When the transaction involves planned improvements or redevelopment, the firm also addresses documentation that clarifies scope, sequencing, approvals, and change management.
Transactional support in commercial real estate tends to span multiple documents and parties. Roquemore Skierski PLLC’s Dallas commercial real estate work includes:
Commercial real estate deals sometimes produce disputes based upon the documents used to close the transaction. Roquemore Skierski PLLC handles real estate litigation involving owners, buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, lenders, and developers when contract performance breaks down or when property rights require judicial intervention.
These disputes often center on purchase agreement obligations, lease defaults, guaranty enforcement, title and easement conflicts, development-related covenants, and construction payment issues. The firm’s litigation work in this area focuses on early case assessment, targeted strategy, and remedies that protect asset value and business continuity, including damages, declaratory relief, and injunctive relief.
Construction defect disputes can arise after acquisition, redevelopment, tenant build-outs, or new construction when building systems or the building envelope fails to perform as required. Commercial projects also tend to involve multiple contracts and participants, including developers, owners, general contractors, subcontractors, design professionals, and suppliers, which can complicate the allocation of responsibility.
Roquemore Skierski PLLC handles construction defect litigation involving workmanship deficiencies, design coordination failures, and performance defects, with close attention to the contractual warranty framework, project documentation, insurance requirements, and indemnity provisions that can shape defense and recovery. When scope changes and documentation gaps drive cost and schedule changes, the firm also addresses the legal consequences of change directives, incomplete change orders, and related disputes.
