Gould & Ratner LLP
222 N. LaSalle St., Ste. 300
Chicago, IL 60601
What is your company specialty? Gould & Ratner is a law firm for companies, families and individuals who need sophisticated legal advice given with a business mindset. Our Real Estate Practice is a marquee service of the firm, supporting clients with interests in some of the most desirable, iconic and innovative properties in Chicago and the United States. The sophistication and business practicality of our full-service counsel in real estate matters matches the complexity of our clients’ projects and transactions. We represent property owners, developers, lenders and investors in their acquisitions, dispositions, sales, financings, leasing and development. Within real estate circles, we are known for flexing the same muscle strength of firms much larger but delivering service and efficient pricing on par with successful real estate law boutiques. For clients, that translates to receiving more than responsiveness. It means we work at a pace that keeps transactions ahead of deadlines, we leverage experience to foresee obstacles, and we devise solutions and structures to keep deals on track to closing.
