Neal H. Bookspan

Neal has extensive experience in real estate, advising clients on the acquisition and sale of all types of commercial property, as well as residential and commercial real estate disputes. He also advises clients on issues related to bankruptcy (debtor/creditor issues), construction, and commercial litigation including the prosecution and defense of complex, multi-party disputes.

Neal views his job to be helping individuals and businesses manage their legal risks whether in a transaction or litigation. This includes representation of a significant number of companies based or doing business in Arizona and other jurisdictions. His practice includes negotiating and drafting all manner of contracts and agreements including for the sale of commercial real estate, with an emphasis on multifamily, and mergers and acquisitions. He has served as a private mediator in both state court and bankruptcy court cases. In every representation Neal’s goal is to complete the scope of work required in the most expedient and economical manner possible, meeting or exceeding client expectations. His pragmatic approach to solving legal issues looks for the practical solution as full scale litigation may not be in the client’s best interests.
