Real Estate

Every project. Every jurisdiction. Every dispute.
Structured.

Real estate and infrastructure companies manage complex outside counsel portfolios across development disputes, construction litigation, and regulatory compliance. When a single project dispute can cost tens of millions, and zoning battles delay timelines by years, ad hoc firm selection is a risk your investors won't tolerate. Leading RE legal teams use PERSUIT to bring competitive rigor to every outside counsel engagement — from construction disputes to environmental compliance. Because when your portfolio spans billions in assets, every outside counsel dollar needs to be defensible.

Three pressures
every RE GC
is managing at once.

PERSUIT was built for exactly this environment. Not adapted from a general procurement tool. Built for the project complexity, regulatory depth, and transaction scale of real estate and infrastructure legal functions.

Construction & development disputes

Delay claims, defect litigation, contractor disputes, design professional liability — all happening across multiple projects simultaneously. Every development creates counsel needs in new jurisdictions. Without structured selection, you're paying premium rates for inconsistent quality across your portfolio.

Environmental & zoning compliance

Environmental remediation, brownfield development, zoning challenges, land use permitting, ESG compliance. Real estate companies face overlapping regulatory regimes at every level of government. Most manage this through dozens of local firms with no central cost visibility.

Transaction & financing complexity

Acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, fund formation, REIT compliance, mortgage-backed securities. Real estate transactions are document-intensive and time-sensitive. Your transaction counsel selection directly impacts deal execution speed and cost certainty.

Portfolio-wide governance.
For RE teams
who need it.

Real estate legal functions don't just manage litigation — they protect portfolio value. Every construction dispute, every environmental claim, every transaction delay affects asset returns.

PERSUIT helps RE teams structure their entire outside counsel lifecycle — from development disputes to portfolio transactions — with competitive pricing, documented selection criteria, and asset-level visibility.

Portfolio-wide compliance.
For the RE teams
who need it.

Real estate legal work — construction disputes, environmental remediation, zoning challenges, transaction closings — generates significant outside counsel spend across dozens of jurisdictions with little central visibility. When your portfolio value depends on timely dispute resolution and deal execution, counsel selection can't be an afterthought.

PERSUIT enables real estate legal teams to competitively source construction litigation, manage environmental compliance counsel, and maintain full audit trails on every engagement — with the security and compliance documentation your asset management team requires.

Real Estate matter types

Every real estate matter type has different counsel requirements. PERSUIT handles them all — with competitive pricing, structured evaluation, and full audit trails.

Construction

Development Disputes

Delay claims, defect litigation, contractor disputes, and design professional liability across multi-project portfolios. When a single development can involve dozens of subcontractors and consultants, outside counsel selection needs to match the project complexity. PERSUIT structures the competitive process across your entire construction portfolio.

Environmental

Remediation & Compliance

Brownfield remediation, CERCLA liability, environmental impact challenges, and ESG compliance proceedings. Environmental matters in real estate are high-stakes and multi-jurisdictional. PERSUIT enables rapid competitive selection so regulatory responses get the right firm — not just the nearest one.

Transactions

Acquisitions & JVs

Portfolio acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, fund formation, and REIT compliance. Real estate transaction spend involves complex due diligence and tight timelines across multiple jurisdictions. PERSUIT provides deal-level cost visibility and firm performance tracking at scale.

Leasing

Leasing & Management

Tenant disputes, commercial lease negotiations, property management litigation, and HOA/condo association matters. PERSUIT's competitive process ensures your leasing counsel is selected on experience and value — with structured responses that make scope and fees transparent before the engagement begins.
