Mintz represented Madison Square Garden in the negotiation of distributed antenna system (DAS) agreements with Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile, which called for the telecom companies to install equipment providing state-of-the-art data and telecommunications services to Sphere patrons at the Venetian in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mintz recovered over $300 million on behalf of client Global Gaming Asset Management, resolving an 11-year dispute with Philippine casino operators Sureste Properties, Inc. and Bloomberry Resorts and Hotels Inc.
 

Our real estate team structured the deal as a 32-year leasehold condominium – an arrangement that provides Touro with a significant tax advantage.

Mintz represented Menlo Equities, a private, vertically integrated commercial real estate investment firm, in its acquisition of 8 data centers and an 80% interest in a ninth from a partnership between an asset management company and a real estate investment company for approximately $487 million.

Mintz’s California Land Use Practice Group counsels clients on avoiding or minimizing litigation risk and expense through arbitration and other contractual provisions, insurance policies, agreements with guarantors, and cost-effective litigation strategies. We also advise developers on California-specific environmental and wage laws.

When a neighboring landlord threatened to derail our client’s development, Mintz identified and prosecuted a creative solution that prevailed in court — bringing a much-needed housing and commercial center to the San Diego marketplace.

Daniel Guggenheim and Michel Soejoto represented Northwood Investors in a complex real estate acquisition that involved multiple purchase agreements, a complicated joint venture agreement, resolving litigation, and obtaining bankruptcy court approval.

The Mintz PE team has served as MPE’s trusted advisor in several key transactions. In September, Mintz represented the client in the sale of its portfolio company, Trachte USA, to a private fund associated with Palladium Equity Partners.

When the former acting managing partner of a New York real estate partnership misappropriated partnership monies and assets, a Mintz team led by attorney Chris Sullivan obtained a $31M award for damages.

Mintz regularly represents one of the largest public companies in the data center space in large, complex transactions, including 4-30 megawatt leases and master service agreements.

A Mintz team’s trial win for a real estate client defeated a neighboring property owner’s attempt to shut down the client's shopping center. Mintz attorneys defeated the plaintiff’s claim in just four hours of trial and secured a $4 million reciprocal parking agreement for the client.
