Biography
Vyas Suresh is an accomplished real estate lawyer with a special focus on construction-related transactions. He takes great care to closely counsel clients on the best methods of structuring construction transactions by initially developing a blueprint that helps ensure success. Clients come back to Vyas again and again because of the quality of his work, his ability to think ahead and anticipate challenges, his knack for working under tight deadlines and the efficient teams he creates and leads. The foundation of Vyas’ approach is his laser-focus on maximizing value for his clients while mitigating risk.
Beyond his rich experience with sophisticated construction deals, Vyas also represents clients across the full spectrum of real estate matters. From complex acquisitions and dispositions to commercial leasing projects on behalf of both landlords and tenants, Vyas works side-by-side with his clients from the beginning of their transactions to the end--structuring the deal, preparing and negotiating documentation, and keeping them up-to-date as the deal progresses. Vyas is also experienced with multi-state and portfolio acquisitions, and his enthusiasm for teamwork has served him well in building teams from BCLP's offices around the globe to support some of the firm’s largest clients on these complex real estate transactions.
