Karen A. Cox

In addition to serving as managing director and chair of the board, Karen Cox is a seasoned real estate attorney who focuses her practice on leasing, development and construction. She advises retailers, restaurants, government entities, owners and operators of commercial and multifamily properties and contractors on a variety of developments from office buildings and freestanding restaurant buildings to mixed use residential, retail and office projects. Because Cox represents developers and contractors, landlords and tenants, and buyers and sellers, she is familiar with the arguments that come into play from different sides in real estate matters, making her very effective in achieving favorable outcomes for her clients.

Cox simultaneously handles negotiations of multiple leasing transactions with national tenants in connection with commercial, retail, mixed use and condominium development, construction and financing transactions as well as in complex multi-party operating, development and easement agreements. In addition, she advises owners and contractors in the preparation and negotiation of all facets of construction contracts and related agreements with architects, engineers and other professionals. Using concise language, Cox always emphasizes clarity when outlining business arrangements creating a precise, solid document to address any future situations or disputes that may arise.

These are some of the reasons we named Cox to our Texas grouping of Lawyers in Real Estate. These are real estate attorneys who have distinguished themselves in both their practice and the larger community.
