Overview

Gregory-Scott R. Haney is a Shareholder on the firm’s Real Estate and Lending Transactions Group.  He is a Board Certified Specialist in real estate law. Clients in multiple industries turn to Gregory to handle their real estate acquisition, disposition and leasing transactions, as well as the real estate portfolio aspects of their M&A transactions. Gregory also has experience in the purchase and sale of liquor licenses. He strives to provide “real time” counsel to clients, understanding that responsiveness is of the utmost importance to companies in today’s fast-paced business environment.

With over 15 years of commercial real estate experience, Gregory has guided clients through the twists and turns of transactions, including negotiation, financing, due diligence, title analysis, and all other aspects of asset acquisition, disposition and leasing in Florida and around the country, across all sectors, such as shopping centers, office buildings, medical office and healthcare facilities, warehouse and industrial facilities, and multi-family properties.

Having negotiated hundreds of commercial leases for landlords and tenants, Gregory also has substantial experience in identifying and negotiating key economic and legal provisions in lease agreements that matter to the client’s bottom line and define critical rights and obligations throughout the lease relationship.

Gregory brings the benefit of a significant prior litigation background to his transactional practice, having litigated for the first 7 years of his legal career in state and federal courts in the areas of construction, leasing, commercial, and bankruptcy litigation.  That invaluable experience has allowed him a broader understanding of how to negotiate and structure real estate transactions for clients in a manner that accounts for potential issues and risks.

Gregory is an approved attorney agent for Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation, First American Title Insurance Company, and Old Republic National Title Insurance Company.
