Background

Experience negotiating over 4 million square feet of commercial leases with major national retail anchors. Over $1 billion in real estate transactions completed. Problem solver for complex retail, office, industrial and multifamily projects.

Tal Diamant’s real estate practice focuses on leasing, acquisition/disposition, development, real estate partnership formation and financing work for a wide variety of assets. From completing acquisitions and dispositions of some of the largest properties in the Denver area and other metropolitan cities in the U.S. to facilitating the development of large shopping centers and office parks and the leasing that goes along with it, he gets deals done. With an unsurpassed understanding of the market and his client’s business strategy, Tal gets involved in the earliest stages of deal structuring. He possesses the know-how necessary to assemble the best team for each client’s project.
Tal is more than legal counsel, he is a trusted advisor offering valuable insight on business decisions, legal matters and strategic issues. Given his high deal volume and deep experience—he’s been doing this for more than 25 years—there are few issues that arise that he hasn’t successfully navigated before. Clients value his entrepreneurial mindset and ability to challenge the status quo by providing creative solutions to everyday issues. This unique combination allows Tal to help his clients achieve their business goals despite any roadblocks that arise along the way.
