Lawrence Jay Kiel

Since 1983 I have concentrated my practice in the areas of residential and commercial real estate transactions, business law and estate planning and settlement. In the residential real estate arena I have nearly 30 years of experience representing home buyers, builders, developers and mortgage lenders in the negotiation and drafting of purchase and sale agreements, preparation and review of mortgage loan documentation and have completed many thousands of purchases and sales of homes in the greater Hartford area. I have advised mortgage companies with respect to their licensure with the State of Connecticut Department of Banking. I have also advised one of the largest real estate brokerage firms in the State with regard to significant governance matters.

In the commercial real estate area I have represented many individuals and business in their acquisition, development, financing and/or transfer of all types of commercial properties, from small properties to larger shopping centers.

In the area of business law, I advise business clients in the formation and management of their businesses, employment agreements, mergers and acquisitions, as well business succession planning and transitions of ownership. I represent my business clients and local lenders in all types of commercial financing as well.

When disagreements arise in the context of a real estate transaction, or in any aspect of my client’s businesses I have the experience and resources that allow me to advise my clients as to their available options and work with them to achieve an effective and efficient solution.

As a firm we are well equipped to handle all aspects of litigation when a dispute arises. Philosophically we approach disputes with a focus on resolution in a manner that is best suited for our client. We can litigate, arbitrate or mediate disputes.
