Jones Day's Corporate Real Estate Services (CRES) Practice provides a full range of legal services related to the ownership, development, operation, and finance of real estate and related facilities to clients who occupy real estate as a necessary support to their core businesses outside the real estate industry. The CRES Practice assists businesses by bringing market-leading approaches to the real estate process in order to reduce the cost and maximize the value of corporate real estate assets.

We not only offer value in single real estate projects of significance, but also contribute as regular members of clients' legal and management teams. The ability to know the client and design an approach that maximizes economies of scale can have a major impact on both the overall legal and other costs to the client and, often, on the quality of result.

The CRES Practice provides overall counseling with respect to hard asset activities and, as needed, borrows from the appropriate talents and experience of real estate, construction, finance, health care, tax, environmental, energy, litigation, and other professionals within the Firm. This allows us to recommend and implement optimal solutions for a full range of plant and facilities requirements. Our experience spans everything from general recurring real estate transactions to specialized transactions such as multi-jurisdictional sale-leasebacks, cogeneration and alternative energy projects, outsourcing and preferred provider service agreements, and complex industrial facility separation and disaggregations.
