Kahn Kleinman is a leading real estate law firm in Ohio. The Firm represents numerous national and local real estate developers and builders. In today's environment, it is critical to build partnerships with the public sector to advance development projects. We know how to create public-private partnerships to promote your development project. Kahn Kleinman has experience representing clients in connection with federal, state and local grants, including development grants from the United States Department of Defense, the National Institute of Health, state-sponsored technology specific grants, City of Cleveland UDAG loans, and Cuyahoga County development loans.

There are a variety of state and local incentives available to support real property and economic development projects. We can advise and help obtain Tax Increment Financing (TIF), tax abatements, conservation easements, historic tax credits, new market tax credits and all other real estate development incentives. Kahn Kleinman attorneys have worked with many of these programs and have excellent relationships with those at all levels of government who administer them. Our knowledge gives you an advantage in two important respects:

1. We understand the subtleties of the programs and how they will impact your project; and
2. We can work through the bureaucracy efficiently and, where necessary, get answers to questions quickly. Both of these advantages save you time, keeping your project on schedule.

Similarly, knowing what won't work is almost as important as knowing what will work. We don't waste your time or that of the local government representatives pursuing avenues we already know won't benefit your project. This saves you money and, together, we maintain the respect of the government representative. That respect can pay dividends long into the future.

Credits, grants, low interest loans and other government incentives are available to help grow your business. We can help you obtain this important source of capital through our knowledge of the programs and relationships with the key state and local officials who administer them.

Our skill and experience in relation to capital formation and the private equity and venture capital markets, when combined with our strong and deep relationships Ohio public officials, including the Ohio governor, treasurer and the attorney general, sets our firm apart in our ability to help you achieve your business goals.

To grow your business and development projects, you may need to become directly involved in the legislative process. Kahn Kleinman lawyers have the technical skills and experience to draft legislation, rules, regulations and local ordinances important to your business or development project. Our team can also help create and implement a comprehensive strategy to promote the legislation, rule or ordinance. This includes direct government advocacy, testimony, and coalition building with other businesses, groups, elected officials and opinion leaders. Kahn Kleinman lawyers have appeared before governmental bodies ranging from local boards of zoning appeals and city councils to the Ohio General Assembly. We have done so with a keen understanding of our client's business interests and needs. When it comes to government advocacy, Kahn Kleinman knows what to say and how to say it.

Taxation often plays an integral role when growing a business, commonly affecting business expansion, site selection and land development, and can be a source of unwarranted complexity and frustration for growth-oriented businesses.

Our tax attorneys have served as strategic advisors and subject matter experts to industry and tax-exempt organizations on administrative and legislative lobbying efforts at the federal and state level. They also have experience working with state and local tax authorities to ensure fair treatment of new and expanding businesses and industries.

It is often said that health care is the second most regulated industry in our nation, after nuclear power. Our health care attorneys devote a large portion of their practice to representing hospitals, physicians, physician groups, nursing facilities, and other health care providers in negotiating the maze of laws and regulations that control every facet of the health care business. We have daily interaction at all levels of the Ohio Departments of Health and Jobs and Family Services.
