Nick Mason is a member of the firm’s Business Law and Real Estate practice groups, with a focus on land use, condominium law, and transactional matters. Nick assists clients in navigating regulations and disputes around the use and management of land—what he calls “dirt law,” for short. He has over a decade of experience advising businesses and individuals in contract negotiations, conflict resolution, and real estate transactions.
Communication and collaboration are the backbone of Nick’s practice. When a client comes to him with a goal in mind, he helps focus that goal into something achievable and works with them on building a roadmap toward it. His experience in contract analysis and due diligence help him identify and resolve any potential challenges and complexities along the way.
Nick believes that even in contentious transactions, there are outcomes that all parties can be satisfied with, and that it’s his job to find them. He thrives on piecing together the interests, objectives, and personalities involved in a negotiation like a puzzle—where the final picture is an agreeable solution for everyone involved. Whether he is in front of a land use board, working with a large homeowner’s association, or negotiating a business purchase, his steady focus on getting the right outcome done the right way helps clients build a path to their goals.
Nick previously worked in-house at a large real estate investment trust, where he negotiated large-scale deals and trained other attorneys in contract analysis and dispute resolution. Before that, he held positions at private firms specializing in title services.
