are once again pleased to share our views on the most powerful real estate law practices in the nation. These are the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me, which represented the world\u2019s best-known real estate and financial institutions in the most noteworthy and complex transactions over the past year.<br \/>\nA major trend of the current development cycle is the complexity that comes with joint ventures and mixed-use projects. While it is certainly what the market is demanding, crafting deals with numerous parcels and parties involved is no easy task. The intricate nature of today\u2019s real estate transactions is certainly one driving factor in the increase of attorneys needed at these real estate practices.<br \/>\nAn examination of the work represented yields a telling cross section of what is going on at this point in the cycle. Apartment development and portfolio acquisitions still comprise a big portion of the deal flow. Massive tech office leases continue to be inked. The size and complexity of loan portfolio sales increases each year. One thing is certain: There is no shortage of billable hours for a talented real estate attorney.<\/p>\n<h2>Methodology<\/h2>\n<p>The CPE-MHN Leading Law Firms Survey was sent out to firms with substantial experience in commercial real estate. Firms were asked to provide information on their practice areas, experience of real estate associates, offices, revenues, employees, tenure of real estate staff and a bit about their recent work. All of these factors were weighed into a ranking calculator. The ranking represents what we feel is a logical balance between growth and market share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CPE and MHN reveal the top real estate law firms for 2015.
