    David Taylor guides clients through business, real estate and finance issues, with a focus on transactions involving commercial real estate. He closes acquisitions, financings and dispositions of a variety of property types, including:

    • Condominiums
    • Ground-up developments
    • Multifamily properties
    • Office projects
    • Shopping centers

    David manages all phases of these transactions. He drafts and negotiates purchase agreements and leases, advises clients on property and entity due diligence, and evaluates title and survey matters to spot and resolve issues. He also prepares and reviews organizational and governance documents for limited liability companies, limited partnerships, corporations and other types of entities. He prepares, reviews and negotiates loan documents to secure financing for real estate loans.

    David partners with companies to offer support before, during and after transactions. He’s often clients’ first call to tackle contract, landlord-tenant and corporate governance issues. Owners, investors, developers and lenders rely on his steady approach to steer deals from start to finish. He helps companies in the Gulf South expand across the region and national clients gain a foothold in the fast-growing Panhandle.
