Real Estate
Buying, leasing, or developing commercial property means coordinating a purchase or lease contract with title work, permitted use restrictions, and — often — a business operation that cannot afford delay. When those pieces are not reviewed together, businesses can find out after closing that a property's zoning does not support their intended use, or that lease terms conflict with how they actually plan to operate. Lynne Legal represents businesses, developers, and property owners through the real estate decisions that carry the most operational and financial exposure, throughout Palm Beach County and across Florida.
Jeffrey Lynne advises clients on the legal side of acquiring, leasing, developing, and using commercial property throughout Palm Beach County and the state of Florida, working alongside brokers, lenders, and title companies rather than duplicating their roles.
Before a business signs a purchase agreement or long-term lease, confirming that the property's zoning, permitted uses, and any existing entitlements actually match the intended operation can prevent costly surprises after closing - including denied permits, forced changes to a business plan, or disputes with a landlord over allowed use.

FAQs
Yes. While the firm's real estate practice is focused on commercial matters - acquisitions, leasing, development, and property use issues for businesses, investors, and developers — our title companies regularly assist with residential home purchases.
A property's zoning district determines which business uses are legally permitted there. Signing a lease before confirming your intended use is allowed can result in a business being unable to open, or needing to seek additional zoning approvals such as a conditional use or special exception after already committing to the space.
At minimum, a business should confirm the property's zoning and permitted uses match its intended operation, review title and survey issues, and understand any restrictions or conditions attached to the property before signing a purchase agreement or lease.
