Years closing complex deals
Where we focus
Office towers, malls, large multifamily and commercial portfolios, including distressed and bankruptcy-related acquisitions. We keep every party moving toward the same closing date.
Multi-facility healthcare real estate and operating portfolios. When a recognized healthcare firm couldn't get a client's deals closed, the client called DJK, and stayed.
The entity, equity and governance work behind the deal, structured so the business side doesn't unravel after closing.
Lender and borrower-side counsel across the capital stack, from bridge and construction loans to syndicated facilities and debt restructuring.
Situations we step into
The 3 things that kill deals, and how we prevent them

Killer 02
Over-negotiating
We know when to be bulldogs and when to be diplomats. Closing is the goal.
Killer 03
Inaccessibility
We're always a phone call away, so your matter never stalls waiting on counsel.
Two minutes, no obligation
What's on the table?

We focus on significant, complex transactions, from multi-million-dollar acquisitions through nine-figure portfolio deals and billion-dollar Chapter 11 acquisitions. Tell us what you're working on and we'll tell you honestly if we're the right fit.
Yes. DJK handles transactions nationwide, with clients concentrated in Los Angeles, the New York metro area, Chicago and Miami.
Our healthcare focus is transactional: acquisitions, financings, portfolio deals and restructurings. For regulatory-heavy compliance work we coordinate with specialist counsel so your deal keeps moving.
A senior DJK attorney runs your deal from start to finish, answers the phone and stays focused on getting it closed.
Often that's exactly when clients call. Some of our most important relationships began after another firm couldn't get a deal across the line.
Book a complimentary, confidential 15-minute deal review with a senior attorney. Timelines slip, lenders get nervous and sellers move on, so the sooner we look at it, the better.
Confidential and no commitment. A senior DJK lawyer reviews it and replies by email.
