Real Estate Attorney - Key Attributes

[James Shen]

Hi BP Community -

I'm currently looking for a RE Attorney and was hoping to receive advice on what to look for during the search. Are there any guides or just general guidance on what to look out for when searching and partnering with RE attorneys? Understand attorneys can vary quite a bit, even with specialties, so would definitely appreciate any insights or anecdotes / preferences around this topic.

For context, I'm currently beginning my journey to invest in multifamily buy-and-holds in NJ, particularly in Northern Jersey (Hudson County). I want to ensure I have the proper entity structures to really grow this business for the long run.

Again, really appreciate any insight from the community here. Happy to discuss further, feel free to message me directly!

Best,
James
