During more than 40 years of closing deals, Bill Adelson has been involved in a wide variety of real estate, corporate and other business transactions in New Jersey and New York.
Representing developers, established business owners and start-up entrepreneurs, Bill has assisted with their joint venture arrangements and financing needs, including working with institutional lenders, mezzanine financing, preferred equity and private investors.
He has formed entities, property owners’ associations and commercial condominiums, and he has drafted operating and joint venture agreements, ground leases, space leases (business, office, warehouse, retail, “big box,” build-to-suit), PILOT, redeveloper and management agreements, real estate purchase and sale, buy-out, redemption and cross-purchase agreements, and contracts for all purposes.
In all matters, Bill’s primary goals are to get the deal done effectively and cost-efficiently and to protect his clients’ interests. Building on his experience as an instructor and lecturer earlier in his career, Bill has mastered the ability to explain complex legal matters in a manner that is understandable to non -lawyers.
