Jeffrey G. DiAmico concentrates his practice in business/corporate law and real estate law. Often serving as “outside” general counsel to his business clients, he advises on general business planning and counseling, transactions, contracts and commercial litigation; with extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, business formation and succession planning. His real estate practice includes commercial, industrial and retail real estate purchases, sales, leases and tax assessment appeals, community association law, and real estate litigation.

Mr. DiAmico serves small, closely held, and mid-sized local and regional businesses and their owners on various issues; including, drafting and analyzing commercial real estate lease agreements (and litigating disputes which arise from same), corporate asset and stock purchase transactions and shareholder agreements, commercial and industrial purchase and sale agreements, and advising clients on general business and litigation matters.

He represents local and regional REITS, shopping center owners and various commercial and industrial property owners. Through these representations, he frequently assists his clients with understanding and utilizing “Confession of Judgment” provisions contained in loan documents and commercial lease agreements. By virtue of his experience in this area, he also routinely represents borrowers, guarantors and commercial tenants in defending against confessed judgments.
