Real Estate and Hospitality

Jenner & Block serves leading clients in the real estate and hospitality industries with an integrated approach that spans disputes, transactions, and governmental matters. We represent management companies and major brands, developers, owners, REITs, and asset managers with respect to their most important legal challenges and opportunities.

We partner with clients on their most complex transactions and assist with managing legal risk and advancing business strategy. When disputes arise, we resolve them. We handle major transactions, advise on operational challenges, and lead investigations and regulatory matters involving real estate assets and leading hospitality brands. Our main objective is to help our clients achieve their business objectives, using the law as one tool among many.

Leveraging Jenner’s Strengths for an Integrated Industry Approach

Because of our deep knowledge of the real estate and hospitality sectors, we are a go-to firm for some of the largest US and international hotel management companies, major residential and commercial property owners, REITs and asset management businesses, developers, managers, brokers, investors, and other industry participants. Drawing on the wide-ranging sector experience and skills of lawyers throughout our firm, we counsel real estate and hospitality clients on their strategic decisions, disputes and litigation, transactions, investigations, data privacy, operations, regulatory, employment, energy, ESG, and climate solutions needs.   

A Powerhouse Litigation Team

We take pride in being able to not only help our clients resolve disputes strategically when consistent with business goals, but also aggressively litigate cases through trial when necessary. Distinguished by the complexity and scale of the matters we handle, the creative strategy and solutions we devise and execute, and our commercial knowledge of our clients’ industries, we have secured wins valued in the tens of billions of dollars. We have represented clients in owner-operator disputes, investor and joint-venture disputes, governmental challenges and takings cases, intellectual property litigation, hotel and property development-related litigation, national retail tenant and master lease litigation, contested appraisals and buy/sell disputes, bankruptcy litigation, insurance litigation, privacy and employment matters and class actions. We have litigated on behalf of real estate and hospitality clients in state and federal courts, domestic and international arbitrations, bankruptcy court, and in multiple appellate courts. We also routinely favorably resolve disputes for clients short of litigation, including by leveraging specialized knowledge and experience in the industry and by advancing creative, smart business solutions.

Sophisticated Deal Counsel

Our market leading real estate transactions team partners with clients across every facet of real estate transactions in all jurisdictions and in international transactions, which include the most complex and sophisticated deals. Sitting on both sides of the table—representing borrowers and lenders, buyers and sellers, and landlords and tenants—our attorneys have helped clients weather numerous real estate boom and bust cycles. We have extensive experience handling loan workouts and restructuring, construction and ground up development, and complex lease transactions (including synthetic lease transactions and ground lease transactions associated with development and redevelopment of all types of real estate, including, office, multi-family, retail, hotel, industrial, airports, ports, and mixed-use projects across the United States). We also have extensive experience structuring and closing acquisitions and dispositions, finance and private equity transactions, corporate and institutional real estate transactions, and real estate securities transactions.

Navigating Sensitive Compliance Risks and Investigations

We help clients strengthen their compliance policies and procedures across a range of risk areas, including cybercrime, international corruption, money laundering, human rights, and sanctions. When allegations come to light, we conduct nimble, efficient internal investigations to help leaders understand corporate and legal risk. And we defend real estate and hospitality clients when they find themselves in the crosshairs of government investigations and regulatory proceedings, including inquiries by state attorneys general, Congress, and federal and international regulators. Likewise, we counsel numerous clients regarding insurance coverage, employee benefits, and tax issues.
