Managing partner of the firm’s Angier office and an accomplished commercial real estate and business attorney, Currie Tee Howell has a visceral understanding of how sound, responsive, and rock-solid reliable counsel can be transformative for his clients and their commercial, financial, or personal objectives. That is why he is so personally invested in their success and fiercely committed to exceeding their expectations, minimizing their risks, and maximizing their returns on every opportunity.
Currie has spent his entire career at Adams | Howell, dating back to when it was the one-attorney Adams Law Office. From his first day, Currie has been immersed in the complexities and nuances of commercial and residential real estate transactions, accumulating a wealth of insights, practical know-how, and dealmaking acumen that only comes from experience. His practice now focuses on the full spectrum of commercial real estate matters, leveraging his extensive knowledge of the law, the on-the-ground realities of the local market, and the practical realities of commercial property investment, development, and title issues in equal measure.
With a candid, no-nonsense counseling approach tailored to each client’s preferences, circumstances, and needs, Currie represents large developers and small investors alike in commercial and residential development transactions, purchasers and sellers in individual commercial acquisitions and dispositions, and landlords and tenants in commercial leasing matters. He has extensive experience with title searches and title defect resolution, further enhancing his ability to address and resolve concerns that could delay or derail a promising deal.
Though there are few things Currie hasn’t seen or dealt with in his quarter-century of practicing real estate law, he approaches every deal and every document with the fresh eyes needed to catch any errant detail, potential impediment, or other nuance that can impact his clients’ interests and goals. While he leaves no stone unturned, he also emphasizes efficiency and cost-effectiveness in his efforts, always cognizant of his clients’ bottom lines.
A seasoned business attorney, Currie also works with companies of all sizes on entity formation, governance, operations, mergers and acquisitions, and the day-to-day and strategic legal issues they face. He also has experience with estate planning matters. In every aspect of his practice, Currie strives to provide the service and representation he would expect if he were the client.
