If your real estate deal is not performing, you may wonder about your legal options. We spoke with Richard Crouch, a principal and chair at Woods Rogers Vandeventer Black. A frequent media source, Crouch has built his legal practice on the foundation of commercial real estate over the past two decades. 

Richard’s practice includes commercial real estate acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, development, and finance. He regularly works with real estate acquisition firms, developers, property management groups, commercial tenants and lenders on the structuring and closing of commercial transactions.

 

In this episode, we talked to Richard about the market shift and its current status, the corporate transparency act, what to do if a real estate deal is not performing as expected, useful insights on common mistakes that investors make, his transition to becoming an investor, finding the right attorney for your business, and much more.
