We assist owners, developers, lenders, landlords, tenants, operators, contractors and others on matters related to the acquisition, sale, zoning, development, construction, leasing, management, finance, taxation and disposition of new and existing properties. We also regularly handle real estate-related litigation and work to resolve controversy, including zoning, land use, title, construction, owners and property tax appeals, environmental claims, and bankruptcy and reorganization issues.
Our “insider” knowledge of the mid-Atlantic market and its many submarkets, and close working relationships with governmental entities, economic development leaders and financial institutions within them, uniquely enhance our representation of real estate clients.
Real Estate Industry Team
At Miles & Stockbridge, not only do we have deep experience in our practice areas, but we also focus on the industries in which our clients do business. To formalize this commitment further, we have created industry teams in manufacturing, distribution and real estate.
Our Real Estate Industry Team consists of 21 members from diverse practice groups within our Firm. Each member selects and gets involved in a subcommittee that works to advance the larger team’s goals. Among their specific efforts, members research, analyze and plan for industry trends, address specific client and industry needs and draft communications of interest to real estate clients. We invest our own resources, knowing that a deep understanding of our clients’ businesses will enable us to serve their broader needs more effectively and efficiently.

For many years, our firm has represented a Maryland-based corporation in its design, engineering and fabrication of pharmaceutical processing equipment. When the company built a demonstration facility to showcase its pharmaceutical expertise and ability to comply with rigorous FDA guidelines, its customers took notice and encouraged it to pursue custom manufacturing for many of the companies for which it had previously supplied pharmaceutical processing equipment. Its parent company, though, established two difficult requirements: restrict the investment to no more than one-third of the overall cost of the facility, and minimize all ongoing risks. Utilizing our relationships with state and county governments and equipment leasing companies, we were able to assist our client in obtaining government-guaranteed revenue bond financing and equipment leases which resulted in an equity investment of less than 30%. Turning our attention to the risk management for ongoing operations, we soon discovered that little analysis had been performed throughout the industry of the risks involved in custom manufacturing and the manner in which those risks should be allocated between the custom manufacturer and the pharmaceutical client. Together with the management, we developed a set of principles for both risk allocation and risk management, which were different from what had been previously used in the industry. From those principles, contractual agreements were prepared to form the basis of all arrangements for pharmaceutical custom manufacturing. At the same time, all of the risks that had been allocated to the company were analyzed and, wherever possible, appropriate insurance coverage was obtained to address the exposures. The final task was to educate all persons in the company dealing with the pharmaceutical customers on the agreed risk evaluation and allocation, so that lawyer involvement in customer contract negotiations could be minimized and manufacturing contracts could be efficiently and expeditiously negotiated and agreed. |
