Real estate is another substantial part of the firm's offering. Its capabilities include property transactions and finance, zoning and land use, and real estate litigation. The broader platform includes tax, benefits, and environmental advice associated with transactions, as well as securities litigation, white collar matters, and antitrust.
The firm's New York and Washington practices provide different combinations of these services. For students, the useful distinction is between the underlying client sector and the legal discipline: a fund or property company may need transaction counsel, regulatory advice, or courtroom representation. Fried Frank's published practice descriptions show how those areas fit together within its business-focused platform.
