Berman Fink Van Horn

Berman Fink Van Horn P.C. is an Atlanta law firm in the Buckhead community whose commercial real estate practice advises buyers, sellers, lenders, owners, and investors, retail and multifamily builders and developers, landlords and tenants of retail, office and industrial space, and commercial real estate agents, brokers, and appraisers.

The practice covers acquisitions, dispositions, development, investment strategy, joint ventures, and real estate finance, along with the transactional detail around them: establishing the right entity for ownership and disposition, reviewing due diligence, title, survey, and property matters, preparing sale documentation, negotiating with purchasers and lenders, and coordinating commercial closings. Leasing work covers office, retail, and industrial leases. The same team handles property and landlord/tenant disputes through litigation, arbitration, mediation, or negotiation.

The firm's name partners began practising together in 1997, and it marked 25 years of that partnership in 2022, the year it was first recognised as a Best Place to Work by the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Clients range from start-ups to large established and publicly traded companies, doing business throughout Georgia, across the United States, and internationally. Other practice areas include noncompete and trade secrets, employment, business litigation, mergers and acquisitions, banking litigation and creditors' rights, and tax planning. The firm is a member of the Law Firm Sustainability Network and works from 3475 Piedmont Road NE.

The site states that rates are competitive but publishes none, and notes that submitting information through the website does not create an attorney-client relationship, so fee structure and engagement terms have to be settled directly.
