Florida Real Estate Development Counsel That Moves With Your Project
Legal Strategy Built Around the Full Development Lifecycle
From the first site contract to final closing, development deals demand an attorney who understands what's at stake at every phase — not just the paperwork at the end.
Real estate development is not a single transaction. It is a sequence of high-stakes decisions — each one dependent on the last — where a misstep in the early stages can cost you the project entirely. At Nishad Khan P.L., we represent developers from initial land acquisition through entitlements, financing, construction contracting, and project close-out. Our two Florida Bar Board Certified real estate law specialists bring the kind of technical depth that complex development deals require, paired with the direct attorney access you only get at a boutique firm.
We work with residential developers, mixed-use project teams, and investors assembling land for future development throughout Orlando and Central Florida. For clients outside the region or out of state, virtual consultations make it straightforward to get Florida-specific counsel wherever you are.
What We Handle at Every Stage of Development
Land Acquisition and Due Diligence
Every development project lives or dies on the quality of its due diligence. We review title chains, survey matters, environmental disclosures, and zoning classifications before you commit capital — so you know exactly what you are buying and what constraints come with it.
Purchase and Sale Contracts
Development contracts carry risks that standard residential agreements do not. We draft and negotiate purchase and sale agreements that account for contingencies, entitlement timelines, financing conditions, and exit rights — protecting your position through every phase of the deal.
Entitlements, Zoning, and Permitting Support
Navigating Florida's land use and permitting landscape requires attorneys who know the local regulatory environment from the inside. As Florida natives with deep ties to Central Florida, our team understands how these processes move — and where they stall.

Frequently Asked Questions About Real Estate Development Law in Florida
At what point in a development project should I bring in an attorney?
Before you sign anything. The purchase and sale contract sets the terms for everything that follows — contingency periods, due diligence rights, and exit conditions are all negotiated at that stage. Bringing counsel in after the contract is signed limits your options significantly.Can you help with both residential and mixed-use development projects?
Yes. We work with developers across project types, including single-family residential communities, multifamily projects, and mixed-use developments. The legal framework differs by project type, and we tailor our approach accordingly.Do you handle development projects outside of Orlando?
We represent developers throughout Central Florida and handle Florida real estate development matters statewide. For clients based outside Florida, we offer virtual consultations and can coordinate with local counsel where required.What is the difference between a real estate attorney and a Board Certified real estate specialist?
Florida Bar Board Certification in real estate law requires passing a rigorous written examination, demonstrating substantial experience in the field, and earning peer recognition for professionalism and competence. Nishad Khan P.L. has two Board Certified real estate specialists on staff — a level of verified expertise that most firms cannot offer.Can you also help structure the entity that will hold the development project?
Yes. Entity structuring is a core part of how we approach development engagements. We set up the appropriate legal entity — LLC, partnership, or otherwise — to manage liability exposure, accommodate investor relationships, and align with your financing structure.
