When you have a legal issue, it is important that you have the right advice and support. This is certainly the case for commercial real estate transactions. In that situation, you want to be sure that you hire one that has the right experience.
Buying commercial real estate is quite different from other kinds of property transactions. Many of these deals are quite complex and usually, there is a lot of money involved. So, it is not wise to buy something like a factory, retail outlet, workshop, or offices, without the right type of legal assistance. So, you really should seek out a lawyer that specializes in commercial real estate.

You need to look for someone that has the following types of expertise:
- A working experience of the laws and rules that have an impact on commercial properties and their owners in your area
- An understanding of the typical cost of commercial property in the area you are planning to buy
- Familiarity with national and local business laws
- A complete understanding of contract law, including the many special clauses that relate to the different types of commercial property
