A trusted advisor for our business's complex real estate and financing needs

We engaged Kit Pettit to handle a complex commercial real estate acquisition that involved intricate financing and the formation of a new LLC partnership. With over two decades of experience, his deep knowledge across real estate, business organizations, and banking law was immediately evident. He expertly navigated the transaction, anticipating issues with the lender's requirements and structuring the partnership agreement to protect our long-term interests. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Real Estate Law is well-deserved. Kit is not only a sharp legal mind but also a pragmatic advisor who explains complex matters clearly. His professionalism and dedication resulted in a seamless closing. For any business or real estate legal matter in Pittsburgh, I cannot recommend Kit and Bernstein-Burkley highly enough.
