Condo Development

Condominium development has reached record levels in Florida and Pathman Lewis' real estate group continues to provide both in state and out of state developers with legal representation in this highly regulated area. Pathman Lewis attorneys bring years of experience to the table in order to provide our developer clients with practical legal advice as well as efficient turnaround time.

Pathman Lewis’ condominium lawyers have been involved with every aspect of condominium development – residential, mixed use, office, industrial/warehouse and conversions. We understand how to approach a project and have developed specific questionnaires and other materials so that we can obtain relevant project information from our clients and create suitable documents for the project while at the same time not “reinventing the wheel.”

We have an outstanding closing department of real estate attorneys and paralegals who have been trained to handle end closings in bulk. Pathman Lewis understands how to represent the developer while at the same time showing respect for the buyer – no matter what size the transaction – so that the end user can walk away from the closing table feeling confident that he or she has made the right choice in purchasing at the project. We conduct closings in numerous foreign languages including Spanish, French and Italian.

We have developed relationships in the professional community with different surveyors, architects, engineers, accountants and contractors so that, when asked, we can assist our clients in putting together a solid project team.

The Firm is fully familiar with The Interstate Land Sales Act (ILSA) and how a project, and the underlying condominium documents, are affected when ISLA applies. Of equal importance, Pathman Lewis understands ILSA’s exemptions and can advise its developer clients on how to structure contracts and sales to take advantage of ILSA’s exemptions.
