Our company recently engaged in a multi-million dollar acquisition of a mixed-use development in the Pearl District, a transaction fraught with complex zoning issues and intricate seller financing terms. We were referred to Michael Zahn at Davis Wright Tremaine, and it proved to be the best decision we could have made. Michael’s deep knowledge of Oregon real estate law, honed since his graduation from UVA Law in 1997, was immediately apparent. He didn't just review documents; he provided strategic, business-minded counsel that anticipated challenges we hadn't even considered. His calm, methodical approach was invaluable when negotiations became tense, and his drafting was impeccably precise. While his firm profile notes his recognition in Real Estate Law, working with him firsthand revealed why that accolade is so well-deserved. Michael and his team ensured every contingency was covered, from environmental due diligence to title complexities, leading to a seamless and successful closing. He is more than a lawyer; he is a trusted advisor who protects his client's interests with unwavering professionalism and expertise. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any significant real estate matter in the Portland area.
