John Jolley
Dinsmore & Shohl LLP's Real Estate Practice Group counsels clients with needs relating to real estate acquisition and disposition, ownership, construction, financing, land use, title insurance, zoning, leasing, and exchanges.

We work closely with clients to structure the proper ownership entity and relationship between the owners, including joint tenancies and tenancies in common, partnerships, limited partnerships, regular and Sub-chapter S corporations, limited liability companies and trusts. Our attorneys represent owners and lenders, including several local and national banks, insurance companies, pension funds, REIT'S, major corporations and international lenders in all aspects of real estate financing, including conventional financings, sale and leaseback transactions, leasehold mortgage financing, refinancings, workouts and foreclosures. Each year we close millions of dollars of real estate sale, financing and lease transactions.

Services include:
* Commercial and consumer credit
* Financing and loan closings
* Syndications
* Contract review and preparation
* Title insurance and opinions
* Lease preparation and negotiation
* Establishment of condominiums and PUDs
* Foreclosures
* Annexations
* Building and construction law
* Franchises
* Real estate tax issues
* Consumer protection
* Evictions
* Mechanics' liens
* Related services

Dinsmore & Shohl LLP has an active construction law practice. We represent clients engaged in all aspects of the development and construction process, including owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, designers and manufacturers and distributors of building products and materials. Our attorneys are able to advise clients throughout the construction process. Through our wholly owned corporation, Mercantile Title Agency, Inc., we are affiliated with national and regional title insurers and are able to offer a full range of real estate closing services, including title examinations and issuance of title commitments and policies.

Our attorneys work closely with attorneys in the Environmental Law Practice Group. Given the requirements of the Comprehensive Environmental Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and strict owner liability for contaminated property, the site analysis, contract negotiation, ownership, management and transfer of real estate is critical. We provide a team approach to servicing our clients’ real estate needs.

We also are retained by numerous other major law firms to provide, in multi-state loan transactions, prompt and accurate review of documents for local law compliance and issuance of opinion letters.
