Real Estate Practice Group

At McDonough Holland & Allen PC, a quarter of our lawyers made the professional decision to focus their careers on the law and the business of real estate.

With more than 90 attorneys, our firm is the second-largest in Sacramento. Our real estate group is among the largest and most comprehensive in Northern California.

“Much of the skyline of Sacramento and its region is due to the efforts of our real estate clients,” said Patricia D. Elliott, of the Real Estate Practice Group.

“It is very satisfying—personally and professionally—to look out my Capitol Mall window and see the actual brick-and-mortar results of the legal work that we do every day,” she said. “It is satisfying to drive around California, see a project under way or completed, and know that we have helped make a difference.”

Because of our broad and deep focus on real estate, we can be your sole legal source for advice, planning, transactions and dispute resolution in these areas:

Acquisitions and dispositions

Banking and financial services
Bankruptcy
Business entity formations

The Real Estate Practice Group is proud to represent the individuals and the public and private entities involved in the successful development of real estate in Northern California. We get great satisfaction from the fact that some of these well-known individuals and entities have been our clients for more than a quarter-century.

Quite often, our lawyers serve as general counsel to public and private entities that do not have an in-house legal department. This kind of long-term relationship is our goal.

We approach our representations with prevention in mind—with the goal of helping our clients anticipate legal difficulties, avoid them as far as possible and mitigate them should they occur. This approach leads to major cost savings on projects of all types and sizes.

Our clients include:
