About Our Real Estate & Transactional Finance Practice

Miles & Stockbridge advises financial institutions, property owners, commercial developers, and national corporate tenants in a wide range of real estate transactions. We represent many of the nation's and region’s premier lenders in structuring, negotiating and closing both straightforward and complex real estate finance transactions. Our real estate finance practice is unique in the Maryland marketplace because we handle many syndicated loan transactions throughout the United States, giving us an edge in our legal acumen compared to other firms.

Our comprehensive knowledge of commercial finance, combined with our depth of experience in the Maryland real estate market, make us especially adept at ensuring that even the most complex transactions are closed successfully. Unlike many other law firms in our market that are either real estate development firms or real estate finance firms, we are equally skilled in representing developers, as well as financial institutions.

Through our network of offices around the state, we have the local relationships and on-the-ground knowledge that sees real estate development projects through to completion. Regularly, we help our clients connect with one another to assist in the growth of their businesses.

About Our Land Use & Zoning Practice

Miles & Stockbridge’s thorough knowledge and extensive working relationships with governmental agencies throughout Maryland and Northern Virginia are the keys to our effective land use and zoning practice. Our established presence throughout the region, combined with our strategic alliances with preeminent local counsel when needed, positions us to pursue the crucial municipal approval of permits and zoning applications (including appeals) on the time-sensitive basis that developers require.
