Ritz
& Caflisch, S.C. is a South Central Wisconsin law firm based in Madison
which limits its practice to real estate and business issues. With over sixty years of combined legal
experience, Peter Ritz and Robert Caflisch provide large firm expertise with
the hands-on, personal approach of a small law firm.
Commercial
Real Estate We work with clients to:
negotiate, structure, and complete complex sale, purchase and financing
transactions; accomplish tax-deferred exchanges of real estate (Section 1031
transactions); negotiate and draft commercial leases for both landlords and
tenants; and develop and re-develop real estate (providing legal support in
land acquisition transactions, construction projects, and land divisions by
certified surveys, subdivision plats, and condominium declarations.)
Residential
Real Estate We know that buying,
building or selling a home can often be the biggest financial transaction a
consumer will ever face. More importantly, we understand that a home purchase or sale is more than just a financial
matter. In today’s increasingly
FSBO (for sale by owner) and discount brokerage-influenced markets, buyers and
sellers can feel uncomfortable on their own, or they may not even know where to
begin. We provide affordable,
experienced and independent advice for both brokered and non-brokered
residential real estate transactions.
Business
Issues We advise a variety of
established businesses, including non-profit organizations, on contract and
other matters to help keep them running smoothly, including employment
agreements, buy-sell agreements and operating agreements, sales contracts, and
commercial loan agreements. We also advise entrepreneurs about business
start-ups, creating the appropriate business entities for their circumstances,
and helping them launch their business operations. As part of our transactions practice, we
advise both buyers and sellers of businesses, and can provide important help in
both asset- and entity-purchase transactions. We also counsel individuals concerning their relationships with the
firms they work for, including their compensation and other employment terms,
negotiations to acquire ownership stakes in companies, and non-competition
covenants.
