Benjamin C. Williams

Expert guidance through a complex commercial property acquisition

Our company recently engaged Benjamin Williams to handle the acquisition of a multi-use commercial property in downtown Winston-Salem. The transaction was fraught with complex zoning issues and restrictive covenants from a prior era. From our initial consultation, Benjamin demonstrated a command of North Carolina real estate law that was immediately reassuring. His background, including his recognition by Best Lawyers in Real Estate Law, was evident in his strategic approach. He meticulously reviewed all title documents, identified several potential liabilities the seller's team had glossed over, and negotiated key concessions that protected our long-term development plans. His deep local knowledge, honed over his nine years of practice here and his Wake Forest education, proved invaluable when navigating specific municipal requirements. Benjamin and his team at Kilpatrick Townsend were consistently responsive, translating legalese into clear, actionable advice. The deal closed on schedule, and the safeguards he built into the agreement have already prevented a costly dispute. We sought a technically proficient attorney and found a true strategic partner. I recommend him without reservation to any business facing a significant real estate matter.
