Real estate development requires the coordination of land, capital, entitlements, design, construction, leasing, and operations—often across multiple parties with competing priorities and complex contractual relationships. Peck Baxter represents developers, property owners, investors, lenders, contractors, and other stakeholders throughout the development and construction process.

Our attorneys advise on site acquisition and due diligence, project structuring and joint ventures, land use and entitlements, development agreements, construction financing, design and construction contracts, easements and infrastructure, contractor and consultant relationships, leasing, and project disposition. We also assist with construction-related issues involving change orders, delays, payment disputes, liens, defective work, project closeout, and other claims that arise during or after construction.

Peck Baxter brings a practical perspective to development matters that extends beyond traditional legal counsel. Drawing on hands-on experience across the real estate development lifecycle—from acquisition and municipal approvals through financing, construction, leasing, and property operations—we understand how legal decisions affect project economics, schedules, financing, and long-term value. Our goal is to help clients anticipate problems, manage risk, and move projects from concept to completion.
