Belkin Burden Goldman, LLP: A Leading Force in NYC Real Estate Law

Belkin Burden Goldman, LLP (BBG) has recently been recognized in The Real Deal's ranking for 2026 as one of the top real estate transactional law firms across New York City. This achievement underscores BBG's remarkable activity and formidable presence in the competitive middle-market real estate sector of the city.

According to The Real Deal's analysis, BBG recorded 75 significant transactions, amassing approximately $620.8 million in total deals. Notably, amongst other law firms handling 30 or more transactions, BBG highlighted itself with the second-highest average deal value, estimated at around $8.28 million per transaction.

Craig L. Price, Co-Chair of BBG's Transactional Department, emphasized the importance of these results, stating, “These outcomes reflect the robust nature of our practice in New York's middle market, which includes luxury condominiums, co-ops, townhouses, commercial ventures, and multifamily properties.” He acknowledged the team's efforts in managing high-value matters spanning across diverse asset classes, attributing the recognition to their exceptional dedication and professionalism.

The ranking methodology utilized by The Real Deal involved a thorough assessment of publicly available transaction documents related to commercial and residential properties in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens for transactions concluded by August 1, 2026. For this ranking, firms were credited for transactions where they acted on behalf of the buyer, with the exception of co-op sales where the seller’s representing firm was recognized.

It’s critical to note that the transactions incorporated in this ranking represent merely a fraction of BBG’s extensive deal-making capabilities. The firm’s Transactional Department is equipped to offer comprehensive advice to owners, developers, investors, and lenders on various legal aspects, including due diligence, acquisitions, dispositions, financing methods, development agreements, and leasing transactions not just within New York City but nationally.

The team meticulously manages the entire spectrum of real estate transactions, seamlessly transitioning from the structuring phase to negotiation and ultimately to closing. This comprehensive approach is supported by BBG’s robust full-service real estate law practice, consisting of about 65 attorneys.

Co-Managing Partner Daniel T. Altman, who also serves as a Co-Chair of the Transactional Department, stated, “Our extensive knowledge and connectivity across property types enable us to grasp and align with our clients' evolving business interests and strategic goals from one transaction to the next.” He extended his gratitude to the transactional team for their relentless hard work and commitment, crediting them for the firm’s achievement in this prestigious ranking.
