Who We Represent

Real estate counsel for owners, sellers, investors, lenders and landlords

Hennen Law advises clients throughout the life cycle of real estate ownership and investment, from acquisition and financing through leasing, title and closing, enforcement, disputes, foreclosure and disposition.

Sellers & Property Owners

Attorney-led representation for commercial and residential sales, including contract review and negotiation, title examination, resolution of title issues, closing and title insurance.

Lenders

Loan documentation, mortgages, guaranties, workouts, defaults, foreclosures and post-foreclosure matters.

Landlords & Property Managers

Commercial and residential leases, tenant defaults, statutory notices, evictions, rent disputes and lease enforcement.

Investors & Commercial Property Owners

Acquisitions, dispositions, financing, leasing, title matters and real estate disputes.

Developers & Builders

Land transactions, contracts, title matters, development issues and construction-related matters.

Businesses

Commercial property transactions, leasing, ownership matters and business transactions involving real estate.

Closings & Title

Selling Florida real estate?

Hennen Law provides attorney-led closing and title services for residential, commercial and investment property sellers. When Hennen Law serves as closing and title agent, the legal, title and closing aspects of the transaction can be coordinated through one office, including the issuance of title insurance as a licensed title agent for First American Title Insurance Company.

Unlike a closing-only model, Hennen Law can also provide legal advice and prepare transaction-specific documents when issues arise during a transaction, including contract amendments, occupancy agreements, escrow agreements, easements, corrective instruments and seller-financing documents.
