A law firm for institutional real estate

Deals and disputes, in one place.

We handle the legal work institutional real estate capital needs at every stage: structuring and closing transactions, and stepping in when something goes wrong. AI-accelerated, lawyer-run.

Why Basis

Built for how institutional real estate actually works.

Full lifecycle coverage

From structuring and closing through disputes and recovery — one firm across the entire life of a deal, not a handoff between specialists.

AI-accelerated, lawyer-run

AI moves the work at speed; practicing real estate lawyers make every judgment call. The technology accelerates our attorneys — it never replaces them.

Institutional-grade judgment

Built by lawyers who've spent their careers on the institutional side of the table — acquisitions, workouts, and everything in between.
