As a full-service business law firm, Carlile Patchen & Murphy LLP assists clients to strategically leverage resources to meet their goals and objectives. We help clients grow their enterprise by taking advantage of federal, state, and local economic development incentive programs. Our attorneys have extensive experience with State of Ohio economic development programs involving loans, using bonds for growth, business tax credits, and grants. We also have considerable depth in negotiating incentives for businesses with municipalities for property tax abatement or job-creation type credits.

Carlile Patchen & Murphy LLP attorneys represent owners and tenants seeking a reduction in real property valuation. Our efforts can result in significant property tax savings for property owners and sometimes their tenants.

Over the last few years, we have saved our clients millions of dollars by challenging property valuation assessments. Certain real property may qualify for real estate tax exemption or abatement, which can also result in significant tax savings. Our attorneys are skilled in recognizing these opportunities and helping obtain the benefits of tax-abated property and the tax liabilities that will exist once the tax abatement expires. We also routinely file applications for obtaining real property tax exemptions for churches, educational facilities, and many types of charitable organizations.

Our firm has worked extensively with financial institutions, conduit lenders, insurance companies, mezzanine lenders, government authorities, private lenders, and borrowers in a variety of commercial real estate transactions.

Our Real Estate & Construction attorneys understand every stage of the construction process – from bidding to closeout and estimating to buyout of the project (and disputes and liens). We have successfully represented owners, developers, bankers, general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and material suppliers on projects throughout Ohio. Our construction law representation of those in the construction industry ranges from private industrial, commercial, and residential projects to public projects with both multi-prime and design-build contracts.

Our construction law attorneys understand that “time is money” on every construction project. Our goal is to be proactive and always address problems before they start. We understand the evolving challenges facing the construction industry and work diligently to not only meet but exceed our clients’ unique needs.
