About Us

LET US GO TO WORK FOR YOU

CowanPerry partners with our clients by defining the scope of work at the outset of each engagement and then utilizes appropriate fee structures to align the interests of the firm with those of the client:

monthly retainer-based fees
project and milestone- based fees
reduced rates with success fees
traditional hourly rates.

More than legal advice, you deserve a partner.

“We rely upon CowanPerry for their expertise in land use, real estate development and commercial real estate transactions. They are highly responsive, detail oriented and offer personal attention and practical solutions that are on time, without sacrificing an understanding of value and cost to the client.”
