David Blaivas has represented my company on real estate acquisitions, leases, financings and project agreements for over ten years. We undertake commercial, residential and mixed-use projects, often with complex financing structures. He is an extraordinarily knowledgeable and hard-working lawyer who is a smart negotiator. I know that I can trust him to use excellent judgment and wonderful people skills to successfully conclude our transactions. We can talk with David in shorthand about all our deals as he understands the business exigencies of real estate and can tailor legal documents and structures to our needs. He is a pleasure to work with!

David Blaivas and his team deliver super results on all of our deals. They are very responsive in turning drafts and the protections we negotiated have served us extremely well during challenging times. I used to yell at David for not allowing me to sign certain guarantees that the bank demanded, as I thought his caution would cost us deals. However, his foresight was wise and borderline prophetic as the world around us changed. We would not use any other law firm.
