Despite owning and leasing a number of commercial and agricultural properties, a national food producer didn’t have enough consistent real estate work to warrant a full-time hire. Due to inconsistent workflow and constrained resources, their in-house IP attorney was forced to manage their real estate portfolio and spent heavily on outside counsel support.
With most of their real estate holdings in just two states, the client needed someone with local expertise to become their go-to real estate contact and first line of defense. A former partner at a regional firm, the Axiom attorney, adept to local regulations, drafted purchase and sale agreements, prepared letters of intent, and helped close new acquisitions. She also advised on easement issues and partnered with business team members to remove as much of the real estate burden from the in-house team as possible.
