“I enjoy the teaching aspect of my practice—guiding clients and entrepreneurs to understand what truly matters, avoid common pitfalls, and navigate transactions with transparency. My goal is to craft solutions that not only close the deal but also support the long-term success of their business.”
Deep Patel’s path to commercial real estate law is shaped by his foundation in the hospitality industry and commercial real estate brokerage.
As a dedicated Member attorney at Condon Tobin, Deep takes pride in helping his clients—landlords, tenants, and property developers—navigate the legal and financial aspects of complex real estate transactions. He excels in drafting and negotiating leases, crafting food and beverage license agreements, as well as purchase and sale agreements, always tailoring his approach to develop long-term strategies that align with his clients’ business objectives.
Growing up immersed in his family’s successful Dallas hotel business, Deep learned the intricacies of entrepreneurship and hospitality from his parents, who built their enterprise as first-generation immigrants. This upbringing gave him a nuanced understanding of hospitality, customer satisfaction, and the real estate market—perspectives that now define his approach to client service at Condon Tobin.
Deep’s clients benefit from his balanced perspective, gained from representing both sides in transactions. They appreciate his calm, steady approach to negotiations and his ability to anticipate challenges with practical solutions. Known for his transparency and accessibility, Deep strives to build lasting relationships with each client, positioning him as a trusted partner in their real estate ventures.
Deep’s commitment to connection extends beyond the office. Family is a central part of Deep’s life. With his beloved wife, two children, and strong ties to extended family, he appreciates the values of support and balance—qualities he also feels are vital to his legal practice at Condon Tobin.
Outside of the office, Deep makes it a family affair to experience and appreciate Texas’s rich real estate landscape, from its culture and cuisine to its spirited sports traditions. As self-proclaimed foodies, Deep and his family love diving into Dallas’s vibrant culinary scene, and his extensive experience advising on restaurant lease negotiations across Texas has earned him the title of go-to dining expert among friends and family. Deep and his family’s passion for an all-star lineup of dishes is rivaled only by their loyalty to the all-star teams of the Dallas Dynasty—the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks, and Stars!
