Does anyone have any helpful book recommendations for a 3L going into the corporate real estate group of a big law firm as an associate? I know learning will come with the job and training, but a few books to supplement my knowledge would be great. Thanks.

A client developer group just told me they reached terms to “buy equity in a lease.” From what they’ve told me, if we were setting this up fresh, I’d do a new LLC and easily handle capital contributions, buy-sell, etc. in the new LLC agreement. However, here the partner had a long-term lease on the underlying RE that our group wants to develop as a concept. Lease assignment to new LLC is dicey, but I’m thinking maybe we set up a Mgmt services company to contract w/ the partner-tenant entity?
